When Toyota and Honda started on the rise in the early 80's, people began to buy there product and once they realized how good it was, the became repeat buyers. GM sat and did nothing or didn't know what to do. As repair bills on automobiles continued to rise, people became fed up with $1000-$2000 dollar repair bills and jumped ship to the competition. While GM might be producing better, more reliable cars in 2009, it should have figured this out 30 years ago and they wouldn't be in this mess. Now 30 years later, they are paying the price for there poor decisions. Many ,many reason why GM is in trouble, this is a piece of the puzzle.
