Reply #8: I'm a city person...

[Unca Jim]

there was no derogation intended. I was merely pointing out that the sample was narrow and specific. I also don't see why 300,000 unique uses of a fleet of 5,000 cars obtained over nearly ten years is a significant sample compared to all new car sales.

I didn't suggest that Zipcar needed to buy GM, I suggested that this one small group not buying GM was not as significant as the OP seemed to suggest.

GM makes many small, fuel efficient cars that are reliable. They don't just make giant SUVs.

I wasn't telling you or anyone else what car to drive, how much to drive, or anything else. If GM cars don't appeal to you don't buy them. If groups or companies don't like GM cars they shouldn't buy them either.

I just said that this narrow sample was not an indication of why GM restructured.


Oh, and as a huge electric car dork I am on the Volt waiting list, but only because that car would meet my needs of not using any fossil fuels and still getting around a city with dismal public transportation. My current 1964 VW bug conversion took *way* to long to restore and convert to allow me to want to use it as a daily driver.
