Actions speak louder than words.
From what I understand GM is still a BIG company and if they really really wanted to change, they could do it in one day.
Right, and big organizations are slower to change as a general rule. Logistically it's a nightmare, plus man hours to re-tool the multiple assembly lines, specialized workers to hire and train, contractors for materials and out-sourced pre-assembled parts to sign (and then they have to produce the first batch of units, which have to be inspected and delivered). It's a
massive undertaking
... not some honda with a 1.0L engine that sounds like a weed whacker.
Ok, You are officially on my Shit-List; you clearly don't know anything about Honda (or any other brand for that matter). While they might not make your favorite noise with their engines, the engines are perfect for the cars they are in. You have done nothing but take pot-shots at Honda since you showed up while exalting the virtues of a justly dead badge that should have been euthanized years before it finally shuffled off. You can't seem to appreciate a car for what it is - Civics are designed to be economical to operate, reliable, and practical and be both affordable at the low end and offering luxury appointments at the upper end. You would be hard pressed to find another car that does that job as well as a Civic. Not every car has a big V8 and I wouldn't want every car to have a V8.
The world is a bigger place than your narrow little mind can possibly grasp, and the car world is just the start of it. Don't mistake me for a Honda fan-boy just because I own one, I use Honda merely because you insist on bashing it at every turn and with absolutely no justification. So far the closest you have gotten to real criticism is that they don't make a V8 Civic that sets off car alarms. Well yippie-kai-yay, cowboy, you just compared apples to turnips.
For your edification: the 1.0L engine in the Honda Insight (Hybrid) won Engine of the Year in the <1.0L category for six years in a row. The 1.3L in the Civic won Engine of the Year (1.0-1.4L) from 2002-2004 and took "Best Fuel Economy" in 2003 & 2004 - a title held the previous two years by the Honda Insight. The 1.8L engine in the Accord won in 2000 (1.4-1.8L). And the 2.0L in the S2000 won from 2000-2004 in the 1.8-2.0L category. Honda took the title again in 2005 with a 2.2 L engine (2.0-2.5L). The Insight 1.0L pops up again back in 2000 as "International Engine of the Year." In all this time, the only Chrysler engine on the list is a single concept that won "Best Concept" in 1999 & 2000. That's it, one engine with the Chrysler name. I see a lot of Toyota, Honda, BMW, even Mazda, Ferrari, and Saab made the cut. There's VW and Mercedes' AMG works (too bad Chrysler doesn't get
those engines); but aside from one non-production concept there's nothing from your beloved Chrysler.*
Please, don't make me embarrass you again.
