General Motors and Cobalt Websites-The Big Rip Off and the Slow Deception

Losing his job is best thing that could happen to someone that realizes their potential has been capped by a company so backward and doomed to failure as GM.

Frank, 'tis a sign of things to come. If you want to survive this storm, "you're gonna need a bigger boat!" Once you go Jap, you'll never go back!

Then repost your article anywhere and everywhere you can!

Best of luck Frank. Jeff, you or Alex should have hired Frank and kept the article!
 
I'm sure GM did this because there were some lines about a conspiracy in the original article. If it were just a criticism of the program through CoBalt and a request for more options (as many of us have made toward other OEM's) GM would not have spent the time and resources on this subject matter.

I'm positive it was the conspiracy theory that pushed them to spend depleting assets in an effort to avoid a possible public relations nightmare that may have ended up on CNN. It had to be a very significant threat to spend any time/effort/money on something like this right now.

Or it could cost GM more money to sever ties with CoBalt and spend resources on sourcing other site hosting companies. They figure the efforts used to put-down any kind of notions towards a change are well worth doing instead of chancing the consequences of having to spend more money on some little dealership websites.

As a taxpayer; an ignorant American, I have to create my own delusions these days to find any kind of comfort with these companies who are asking for my money. Especially the ones who, in turn, spit on my American rights.
 
I wanted to comment and say that My outlook on Cobalt has not changed and I cannot believe they continue to use a PPC campaign in dealers names, it was my hope they would take a good hard look at it and use that money for a better marketing plan. But then maybe they are still working on it?
