Yea Hummer as a brand is pretty amazing. I'm actually from a Ford family (father retired from Ford Aero), and find little in their product mix to buy. I do like the Mustang GT. And I buy a lot of cars.
Unfortunately Saturn is marginal from a business standpoint. It WAS a niche success story, with a brilliant sales approach. In California we don't even know what a Pontiac Torrent or Chevy Equinox is, so a Vue outselling those duds is hardly noteworthy. I agree the VUE isn't bad. And I know what Skys/Auro's are derivatives/rehashes of. They are ok/so-so.
The union problem is huge for sure. And going bankrupt is a terrible alternative. But the best products can also help overcome the worst of business situations. The sooner GM makes the tough decisions, the sooner we can know that Hummer is secure.
I vote for the best products by putting my money down for the best vehicles available, just like you do with tvs/dvd players.
