engadget.com — GM's Flex-Fit system consists of an integrated bike rack that covertly hides within the rear bumper of your automobile, and at the presumed press of a button, the system pulls a stunt akin to those found in highly touted spy films, sliding out from beneath the vehicle in order to holster the bike and expose a secondary license plate.

They are currently working on hydrogen fuel cells. They also have SUVs that run on 4 cylinders.

This is GM's answer to not building any reliable cars. Carry a bike with you. Duh.

My GM worked fine all the years I had it, only took it to be repaired twice. once was because i caught my alumnium rim on a storm grate taking a right turn too close, that was kind of expensive to fix. the other time was because I didn't put any coolant in it, and the heater core corroded and got a hole in it. they fixed it for free under warranty service even though, as far as I can tell, it was my fault. I must have just got one of the working ones.

I like to think I do know a little about automobiles but you shouldn't argue with the relatives, although GM doesn't actually list a Global Finance Director in their GFO structure? I went to the website to find the "great cars," mostly what I saw was a lot of rental cars.

GMs money bleeding is over. They'll post a profit this quarter. They would have posted a profit last quarter but they took a huge one time charge for all of the buyouts they had this year. People are quick to judge GM for all their past mistakes, and they are somewhat right to do so. But if you take a closer look at what GM is releasing, you'll see that they've turned the corner. Saturn is the best example of this. The Aura, Outlook, and Sky all hit the market this year. The Astra will be hear next year as will the next gen Vue which is based on the Open Anteres. The other GM divisions are moving with new products as well. Buick is in for the biggest surprises in the next two years. Some will be shocked at how beautiful some of these new cars will be. The '08 Buick Enclave is practically art on wheels.As for hybrids. GM's dual mode hybrid will hit its large SUVs and Pickups next year with 25MPG. Thats incredible for such large vehicles. They are also bringing out small diesels in the next couple of years.

@atillatheliger:What did your dad do to the Camry to make it run so s**tty? Even good cars require a rudimentary bit of care, and maybe an oil change now and then. That aside, if it's so s**tty, why hasn't he sold it?

GM quality continues to go down every year while import quality continues to go up. Even Hyundai and Kia are now better quality than GM products. Some tell-tale clues that your GM product has quality issues; sit inside and look at how the interior pieces fit together; they're mismatched with large gaps that will start to rattle after a few months of driving. Another clue; look at the gaps in the body panels -- now compare those gaps to any import car and you'll see that the gaps on the American car are much wider because they are not engineered as precisely. I'll start buying GM/Ford when they can match the imports in build quality. Nuff said.

Innovation in design is one thing; build quality is another. Let's see how long it takes them to turn around on that.....
