The representative who chewed them a new asshole was awesome. "You guys need to make cars! Not become a bank holding company, I talked to the credit unions, they said they haven't changed their lending practices. You auto people caused your own subprime mess!"
Ahhaha awesomeness

Not as good as the Nova they released in south america, yes, let's sell a car whose name, when translated into the native tongue, comes out to "It doesn't (no) go".
Brilliant!

I hope chevy the Heartbeat of America can turn things around I love their cars. I know a lot of people think they are a scam but they truely are the Heartbeat of America.
Posted by guest , Sep 22, 2009 2:22PM
I grew up on the jingle Heartbeat of America and think everything Chevy does is great. To say anything negative about them is just un-american and a scam on our country.
Posted by guest , Sep 23, 2009 1:11AM
Heartbeat of America is considered nothing more than a scam and is worthless because Americans don't want to buy cars made in America anymore. Sad but true. If the win back the true Heartbeat of America they everyone would stop thinking of them as a scam.
Posted by guest , Sep 25, 2009 1:29PM
The Chevy will always be the Heartbeat of America. GM makes great cars and calling the HEARTBEAT OF AMERICA a scam is just COO COO.
Posted by guest , Sep 25, 2009 4:35PM
Chevy is not the Heartbeat of America they are a complete scam.
Posted by guest , Sep 28, 2009 4:09PM
GM will cost the tax payer's millions and that what has got everyone so crazy. When you think of that who cares about some silly jingle. This is real man and it,s big corporate BS that brings this country down.

Obama is the Heartbeat of America. The only politician who is not a scam.
If You Have Health Insurance, the Obama Plan:
* Ends discrimination against people with pre-existing conditions.
* Limits premium discrimination based on gender and age.
* Prevents insurance companies from dropping coverage when people are sick and need it most.
* Caps out-of-pocket expenses so people don�t go broke when they get sick.
* Eliminates extra charges for preventive care like mammograms, flu shots and diabetes tests to improve health and save money.
* Protects Medicare for seniors.
* Eliminates the �donut-hole� gap in coverage for prescription drugs.

Thanks for the Obama health care info. He is awesome. I am so glad we got rid of Bush the scam artist who ruined our country. Obama is the Heartbeat of America.

In regards to the GM (Giant Moron) comment that they have assets for collateral to secure a bail out. This scam is hog wash. We are going to basically pay a bunch of CEO's a fortune from our tax dollars to run a company into the ground again and again and again and again.

I am so sick of hearing about the whole Heartbeat of America scam. I say let the sink and put are money into making Hybrids not Hummers.

Obama is the Heartbeat of America
If You Don’t Have Insurance, the Obama Plan:
* Creates a new insurance marketplace — the Exchange — that allows people without insurance and small businesses to compare plans and buy insurance at competitive prices.
* Provides new tax credits to help people buy insurance.
* Provides small businesses tax credits and affordable options for covering employees.
* Offers a public health insurance option to provide the uninsured and those who can’t find affordable coverage with a real choice.
* Immediately offers new, low-cost coverage through a national “high risk” pool to protect people with preexisting conditions from financial ruin until the new Exchange is created.
