What so many of us here on C5 and outside of C5 don't grasp is how passionate the people at that work at GM are. Politics and finger pointing aside, these are people that stayed with GM in the worst of times. They care deeply about the company and the perception of the company.
Did GM Blow It??

Cadillac ATS is a better all round car than a BMW 328 according to Motor Trend!
The reporter actually picked the ATS over the BMW until he was talked out of it by another member of the staff. The ATS matched the BMW or beat it with the exception of the shift gate feel. So what do all of you think of the new ATS.

My post is in support of the people that we need as car guys at GM. The ATS is a GREAT car from Cadillac.

In our current society, what I just wrote qualifies me in the eyes of many as a fan boy or cheer leader. Guess what?

That probably means I cheer the wins at GM a little louder. When my friends at the other Big 3 get wins I cheer for them too.
