This isn't the first time GM has done this kind of double speak. They did this with my father and the Chevy deal. They did this with Oldsmobile. They did this with my fathers friend. BUT most importantly they have done it with John Q. Customer and that’s just wrong.

GM's statements will effectively keep buyers from purchasing Buick & Pontiac products for fear they might "go away" just like Oldsmobile.......
