GM on the rise
I've been a GM credit card holder since 1990 but that has been because this credit card had the best financial incentive. I had just gotten an Audi A4 and had driven a Buick Skyhawk before that. GM had many brands and I assumed there would always be a car that matched my needs. I've bought 2 cars with savings, a GMC Jimmy in 1998 and a Pontiac Vibe in 2006.
In the mid 90's, I followed EV's developments pretty closely and came to the conclusion that hybrids were the practical mass market vehicle at that time. Since GM had the leading technology with the EV1, I assumed they would come out early with hybrids. By 1998, I gave up waiting and bought the Jimmy. By 2006 my earnings were maxed out and I bought the Vibe to carry me to the first mass produced plug-in. I had pretty much given up on GM, but the last couple of years have been encouraging. I look forward to using credit card discount on the Volt in 2010 (fingers crossed). GM WILL allow GM card holders to use their savings to buy the Volt, correct? I wanted to ask this question at Voltnation but everyone was pretty well cornered the whole time.
