That's OK - the vast majority of that loss is due to a write off of the sale of GMAC. The number of cars & trucks shipped was still up 3% this quarter.

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come from GM... goodness knows it's about time they started shipping some winners.

Actually the sale of GMAC saved their bacon. Most likely dumb luck during hard times. If they hadn't sold a 51% stake in GMAC they would have taken a loss in Q1 overall instead of a profit. I'm not sure how much subprime lending GMAC does, but hopefully (for GM's sake) not a lot.

that acadia makes me want to sell my current ride and snag one!

Jeffbx · 05-04-2007, 06:51 AM

It IS a great car - same as the Saturn Outlook & Buick Enclave

I like that it seats 8 - I can see myself trading in the 'ol minivan for one of these.

cheapie · 05-04-2007, 06:55 AM

which vehicle is that?

Prngr44 · 05-04-2007, 09:40 AM

GMC - Acadia

I was all over this thing at the car show.

cheapie · 05-04-2007, 09:50 AM

it looks a bit durango-ish from that angle.

I'd agree with that statment... they're similar.

Except in the pricetag.

A cross between the MDX and the GMC Envoy.
