General Motors is Woke & Going Broke

[SW15]

General Motors is another failing woke company.

How is General Motors woke?

1. They are jumping on the EV bandwagon and acting as the biatches of the progressive ideology.
2. They are discontinuing the Camaro, a masculine car. 2024 will be the last model year of the Camaro
3. Their CEO talks about diversity and inclusion initiatives.

They are going broke for many reasons, in part due to their woke ideologies.

GM Lays Off Hundreds From Product Development in Latest Cost-Cutting Move

Auto maker says the cuts were to contract workers in the group where the company works on future car models.

Even if GM wasn't woke, they haven't made many good products in decades and have suffered from bad management. In the 1970s, their compact cars and sedans were not competing well with Honda and Toyota. They discontinued the Camaro for 6 model years (2003-2008) before bringing back the Camaro. The Mustang has consistently outsold the Camaro.

Their trucks have been decent over time.

Since when did car preferences have anything to do with “woke?”

Sports cars are dying because people don’t buy them anymore. Simple.

ESG is horse shiit and General Motors is one of the biggest corporate cucks out there.

Tell us how you really feel. Sports cars have no market these days. Sedans barely have a market. That’s why they have been scrapped. And EVs frankly are superior to gas cars in most things.

Sometimes it happens. Henry Ford was cucked by Hitler.

However corporations are primarily interested in making $ end of story. So it has little to do with causes unless they think being pro something will drive profits. The marketplace decides.

General Motors has been drinking the EV Kool-Aid from the progressives more than mostly any other car brand despite the market not being there. The electricity grid will not be able to handle mass adoption of EVs.

ESG score seems more important than revenue/profitability these days.

Yeah cause majority of people are broke, woke, follow the trends, and think EVs are saving the planet

That’s the market. It is what it is.

The electricity grid will not be able to handle mass adoption of EVs.

Sports cars have no market these days.

That I don't understand. Sports cars are decent for attracting women. There are more sexless males. You'd think the sexless males would want to drive sports cars to attract women. Crappy crossovers like the Mazda CX-5 and Subaru Outback do not attract women.

Sedans barely have a market.

Honda and Toyota are doing decent with Accords and Camrys, as well as their Civics and Corollas.

Chevrolet, Ford, and Chrysler haven't been able to compete on sedans even when sedans were doing better from the 1970s-early 2000s.

A lot of Millennial pansies are choosing Subaru Outbacks, Toyota RAV4s, and Mazda CX-5s because they are more dog friendly cars than the sedan. It's easier to put a dog in the back of some crossover than inside some sedan.

Millennials have done pet ownership different than all the other generations that preceded them. When Silents, Boomers, and Gen X'ers got pets, they got them once they got married and bought a single family house. Millennial women refused to wait for marriage to get pets. They wanted their pets and wanted their pets NOW!!!!! They got their pets while still living in apartments, which are less conducive to some pets, especially dogs which are the most popular pet.

People buy vehicles for more practical reasons than attracting women.

Sedans as a body style suck. Hatchbacks can be shaped exactly the same and afford more cargo space.

Well, too bad for them then. The marketplace will decide.

Have you seen some of these modern sportscars? They look just like a crappy crossover. Saw a Lamborghini at an event recently and it was just another grocery getter.

Sports cars aren’t practical. Most can barely fit a set of golf clubs. Also, most car buyers now are women.

Sports are too-low given most cars are getting taller and squarer. Height gives people a better view and easier to park and stuff. Now imagine being in a low sports car your almost at the level of the exhaust of other cars and cant see **** and feel all the bumps of modern road driving.
