OK I'm really confused. How can some people have 40,000 miles on their pads and still have some life let in them, while other say their pads are gone in less than 20,000??? I'm assuming no one is riding the brake, slamming on the brakes when coming to a stop.................you know regular easy driving. We just bought a Wolfsburg Jetta in July and I have noticed equal amounts of brake dust on the rims with both front and rears. The '03 Trail Blazer I'm driving has over 40,000 miles with the original brake pads front and rear. Also hardly any if any at all brake dust in the rear. If VW had a brake pad (rotor, or caliper) issue wouldn't it be found on most Jetta's and not just a select few??? Please help me understand this problem with the brake pads.

GM took the Saab and Saturn brands and sold them together as a package- the dealer networks of the 2 are pretty complimentary, and the two brands could have some degree of economies of scale as an independent entity. GM could even do an IPO, spin off the two brands, and retain maybe 33% in the new company. Then again, an IPO in this market is the kiss of death. Saab and Saturn were the last two to be integrated into GM- wouldn't this also mean that they would be the easiest to divorce from GM? The complication here is so many Saab dealers have become Cadillac-Hummer-Saab...

Before I got into the real restructuring, I would do the following to survive right now (as CEO of GM) 1. ask the government to allow GM to close unprofitable franchises at little-no cost and relatively quickly. This will eliminate the "too many dealers" issue rather quickly. 2. Close Hummer. All Hummer dealers sell some other GM franchise anyways. And lets face it, nobody on Planet Earth is going to want to buy Hummer as a brand... Hummer must still cost GM some sort of cash every month to maintain. 3. Cut all senior level management salaries to $1/year, with bonuses exclusively in GM stock. Give them 0 severance if they choose to leave. This is more symbolic than anything else, but at least it'll serve as a nice wake-up call for upper management. 4. delay all product development for another 12 months, minimum, including the Volt program.

Cerberus didn't know what they were buying when they decided to pick up Chrysler- Cerberus thought it could buy it, touch it up a little bit here and there (drop a few models, dealerships, and assembly plants, clean it up a little) and then flip it for a profit. I don't think Daimler should be blamed for Cerberus' lack of success with Chrysler- anybody with a decent brain should have known that Daimler was looking to dump Chrysler for a reason, and that any buyer would need to put some serious TLC into the brand before it could become profitable again. The hedge fund quick fixes don't apply to the automotive business, and this is a classic example.

This squirrel wants to know if you have any information for me yet. I do have some fur pelts. Sorry Bro, we have been getting after here today. I am delivering #9 for the day right now.

Not a dumb question at all. Those folks are here every day when we turn the key and still continue to keep us past closing several nights a week. Since the first cave man built the first wheel to to trade for 3 fur pelts they have been there. A guy who knows it takes 3 furs to buy a wheel but don't have any. :D The thing that keeps you going in this biz is hope. The hope that you can turn a squirrel into a buyer. It happens occasionally, that is why we all hang in there with them every day. On days when there is a larger amount then usual on the lot my GM will ask who ran into the oak tree down the street and knocked all the squirrels out. :D
