The Worst Cars On The Road, 9 were GM Cars

It seems the $50 billion bailout to the auto industry didn't do crap to improve the company or the cars they produce. Obama called it an investment for America. As it turns out, that investment was a losing $11 billion proposition to the American taxpayer. Of the 12 cars named, 9 automobiles were produce by General Motors (GM). Not including the 3 foreign imports, the only company that wasn't mention and didn't receive bailout money was Ford. Therefore, the government is in no position to take over the private sector. The government doesn't understand how to run a company. The government purpose is to waste our tax dollar and create a nanny state. This bailout was a waste of tax dollars to help line the pockets of lobbyist.

(ABC NEWS)By all accounts, Detroit's Big Three automakers have begun producing better-made, longer lasting, more efficient vehicles. It's a distinct change from the 1990s and early 2000s, when they fell behind their European and Asian counterparts in each category.

"This change is not even a gradual thing," says Christine Overstreet, an automotive consultant and director of Heels and Wheels. "It's like they've said, 'OK, we really want to step it up, we really want to compete, we're ready.' After past years of being so bad, they've really stepped up their game."

But with three exceptions--the Mercedes-Benz S550, Smart Fortwo and Nissan Titan--all of the cars on this year's list of the Worst Cars on the Road are (still) made by domestic companies. That includes the Dodge Dakota, Chevy Tahoe Hybrid and Chrysler Town & Country. The only American car company with zero vehicles on the list? Ford.
