GM is back in the news and I have to say that while the bankruptcy issue is still news … GM is slowly but surely pulling themselves back out of the drain and they are making quite a few sales and changes. One of the changes that they are doing is they are letting rejected dealers actually apply for new franchises. That way, it can create more jobs for people all over the US.
To me, this is a fantastic, as GM is trying to not only pull themselves out of the drain but they are taking some of the closed down dealerships with them. The move was actually was made because of the tens of thousands of jobs that were being lost due to the fact that these dealerships were closing.
While GM is going to be opening up several new stores all over the US – the dealerships that might be renewed are not being revealed just yet.
Now – I think that expecting people to buy something off of eBay is not unrealistic, however do I think that someone is going to buy a brand new flippin’ car off of eBay without ever seeing it, touching it, smelling it? Nope! I don’t and that is exactly why GM is going to eventually have to take down their little eBay store, however … despite the low, low, low take rate of these cars on eBay, GM is going to extend their experiment.
While I know a lot about cars – there was one technology that I did not particularly understand. That technology is the direct injection technology. This is an exciting new technology that truly allows car-lovers to have all of their cake along with their ice cream. The great thing about this particular technology is that it actually improves fuel efficiency while increasing horsepower.
