100 percent to the rear? I'm surprised by that... 50% max is what I thought the system could do.
You shouldn't have been so impatient then. Had to have the car.SnowItch said:Another case of GM not doing a good job touting their own horn. I probably would have paid more for AWD (their was an AWD scheduled a few days after I got mine - as it turned out, it arrived before mine), if I had seen this.
I just don't understand why they can't change their business model to provide as much information as possible. It shouldn't take them weeks to provide this data, and it shouldn't require any time to "gather the information". In today's world of Internet "instant access" and "The Google", it is in any companies best interest to get as much information out there as possible, and let the consumer analyze the information and make informed decisions.
This goes along with my frustration with their inability (unwillingness?) to be more forthcoming with vehicle delivery. I have a friend who works for UPS that tells me in 1-2 years, your going to be able to track your package to the actual truck it is on and use Google earth to pinpoint where the truck is when you go to track your package (he's not sure that they are going to put the info online, because it would make it too easy for the bad guys).
My point is that the technology is there. Hell, with OnStar, they can tell me where my vehicle is.
Grrrr..... Now you got me riled up again...
Your wife told me its your fault. She said most things are. She is also blaming the economy downturn on you.SnowItch said:Yes, I did. It was Cash for Clunkers time.
But here's the thing. If GM had a tracking system in place, and could give customers realistic expectations of when the vehicles would be delivered, along with ALL of the information to make the decisions (my sales guy couldn't get any info on the AWD - it should be readily available) I could have made an informed choice.
You are about the 5th person who has tried to push responsibility back on me. GM needs to step up and get the information out there, or producing good vehicles won't matter. There are simply too many tools available to get information to consumers. To remain relevant, they have to start using them
You guys absolutely sure...NY_Joe said:Your wife told me its your fault. She said most things are. She is also blaming the economy downturn on you.
you're not talking about my wife???SnowItch said:You forgot the war in Afghanistan...
It's not only GM, I'd say.SnowItch said:Yes, I did. It was Cash for Clunkers time.

LOL ;DSnowItch said:All of the long-haul companies are doing it, and the drivers hate it. Its hard to say you didn't pull over for that 3 hour nap when the GPS sees you pulled over for the 3 hour nap.
