The other guy said "brilliant fellas.. argue with a car salesman..." He didn't say anything of worth at all, just some more GM trash talk. Like I said typical ET. Now I'll admit, I don't know the exact answer as to the battery degrading and when that might be covered under warranty, but please give me one point that I have not answered?

Oh no they didn't. The unions gave us 5-day work weeks. And weekends. And an end to child labor. God bless the unions. You should thank them. If you have a boat and/or rent houses... you need a truck. The new, new body style, GM. It's a winner. I see them everywhere. Even if you had a crappy one, back in the 1980's... the stuff now doesn't even compare... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Lg4gGk53iY
Best selling... doesn't mean better. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2010/11/chevy-vs-ford-in-heavy-duty-rumble-in-the-rockies.html Chevy blew the doors off Ford. Read and weep.
LOL...Some test, somewhere. Big deal. Thirty-four years, Mr. Magic. Thirty-four years! Now that's impressive!
Keep in mind that GM sells the same truck under two different names - Silverado and Sienna. I really don't care about bashing Ford, they are putting out some really good products.
Hmmm...Perhaps you meant "Sierra", since "Sienna" is a Toyota minivan. Maybe your dealer carries Toyotas also? Otherwise, thanks for your honesty concerning Ford.
Yes sorry, I meant Sierra. The truth is almost any car you buy these days is a good one. It's really just about your preference. But it seems Chevy, Ford, Hyundai, and Subaru are really leading the pack. When somebody comes in to drive a Cruze, I ask them what else they are considering. Usually before they answer, I say the Focus and Elantra, right? They give me a weird look and ask me how did I know. I've lost a few deals to them, but I'm sure I have swiped a few as well. It's funny, they never mention Honda or Toyota. My dealership also sells Honda's. It's really no comparison between the two. Mr Opportunity can keep knocking, but it seems nobody's home.
I don't know if you are in what I would call a major market, but if those Honda's aren't selling like hotcakes, perhaps you're not in a large market. Don't say if you don't want to...(I wouldn't.) Or, I missed it, if you already did. When you say "it's really no comparison between the two", you mean that you sell a lot more Chevys than Hondas. Is this correct?
