Apparently they'll be reimbursed for the previous repair.

Course that thing had lots of problems, two injectors, fuel pump, and the transmission all had gone out on it by the time it had 30,000 miles on it

Was that a diesel or a gasser?

They make mistakes like everyone else. I've owned at least one new vehicle from each major manufacturers (Toyota, Chevy, Dodge, Ford, Nissan, Subaru) except for Honda. As far as customer service goes with them, the order that MY experiences have been is the following:

Toyota>Nissan>/=Subaru>Chevy>Ford>Dodge

I like the looks of the GMC pickup the best. I don't like the look of the Tundra, but that wouldn't keep me from considering it if I was in the market for a new truck.

Fair enough

its ugly,

Personal opinion of course...I thought it was the best looking on the road

and I do not feel that their product is that much better than what is made here.

Product...maybe not, service...DEFINITELY BETTER than the Big 3...thereby making the product better in my eyes.

For the record I also don't like the way the new Chevy, Dodge, Ford, Nissan, and especially Honda, trucks look either. IMO the Ford is by far the best looking one and its still nothing special.

Again, personal choice...though I think the Ford/Toyota look similar:

Wait, they can't because they don't have any money to do that. Didn't they almost go under a few times already?

I know this. It's smart business to do so. I just wanted a little retribution vs. the toyota haters.
