They may have just dumped a ton of cash into their pockets as a marketing strategy, lol though. I think GM is more deserving of a comeback than ford.

I noticed that, too. It's been like that for a few hours now, at least.

GM sells new cars on eBay - its the first automaker to officially be on board with this method of selling. No clue about the pull down menu, but you can see all makes if you choose a type of car.

I was looking for M3s at lunch and couldn't figure out why I couldn't find BMW (or any non-GM car, though I didn't put it all together at the time).

Weird!

How do you figure? Ford is actually making cars that I'd consider buying.

I saw an Escalade parked behind a Suburban and they were identical. It was pathetic rebadging.

Didn't GM pull their eBay program? Thought it's effective either today or tomorrow. In any case, those signs won't be there for long now.

Lexus can be just as guilty, isnt a ES350 just a rebadged camry, what about the new HS, that thing looks so much like a corolla its sad. And imagine people are dumb enough to pay for that crap. Ford and GM are both guilty of the same thing, really most car manufacturers are, its the only way they can afford new models so often, re using platforms and drivetrains. Its what made the industry what it is, starting with the model A.
I agree. I don't buy Toyota or Lexus either.

If anybody's guilty of rebadging, its Honda and its rebadged Acuras.
