I read an article yesterday that discussed the future of General Motors in the United States. With the slumping sales throughout the auto industry and the recent economic crisis, some “doom and gloom” analysts do not have much hope for the nation’s largest automaker. However, the writer of this article gives several reasons why GM is good for America and why it will likely be here for many, many more years. Following are some highlights of that article:
• During World War II, GM was the automaker that was successful in building most of the war machines used during the battles. As a result, General Motors helped save America from its enemies.
• Within weeks after 9/11, General Motors began offering “no interest” car loans to customers to help stimulate the economy and “keep America rolling” through one of the most devastating events of our lifetime.
• General Motors has given millions of workers some of the most generous paychecks, pensions and health care benefits over the years.
• GM has offered some of the best vehicles in the world through its new truck dealers. The automaker still makes some of the best SUVs and full-size trucks in the world that are available at your local GMC dealer.
Come back tomorrow and we’ll have some highlights that show why GMC is here to stay.
