Actually i have to agree with you on this.
GM does make pretty good cars nowadays (atleast for past 5-6 years).
Cadillac and Chevrolet are still good cars IF you take decent care of them (which many don't).
GM does make cars in India and sells them pretty well.
The construction here is on par with Honda City, and considering Indian road conditions, it had pretty low maintenance when compared to other makes (except Maruti Suzuki).
For about $13,000 you get a pretty, solid, well-built large model with all the trims and accessories.
Its solid, and GM offers 10 year warranty here.
Of course that's just marketing. But the street talk (in blogs, articles and reports in papers) say almost the same.
GM's cars are low maintenance in India when compared to Honda and other premium models and service is excellent(! yes i know it blows your mind).
Iam buying a Chevy Optra/Aveo in 2 months as my second car.
Why? Its stylish, large, comfortable, safer (ABS and no airbags, as Nader said airbags are unsafe) plus it can take a lot of punishment (as witnessed by owners in Bombay flooding and Tsunami).
And hey, the dealer offers 0% finance AND an excellent deal.
Now is the time to fight fire with white-hot fire.
Start a non-profit organisation.
Collect money.
Run advertisements in radios and TVs and use YouTube to promote and display "truths" about Big Pharma and Big Insurance companies.
Tell true stories so that they can't sue the organisation.
Continue telling the people to write to their congressmen that if the bill was watered down or not voted, they wouldn't sit in Congress next year.
It needs money to beat money.
Just as $10 and $20 propelled Obama to whitehouse, do the same again to beat the Fat Cats.
You can do it America!
