BTW, the last 5 cars I bought were all made by GM, and none of them say 'junk' on the title. (four Saturns and a Fiero)

in fact, I have no complaints about any of them
I agree that it matters.
Here is what I think is the whole article (couldn't find it on BW)
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servl...tory/Business/
based on that article, it seems that the prices are being raised to alleviate stress. I don't think increased revenue is that big of an issue here. What I think determines whether or not it is GP, comes down to whether help is being given purely for the sake of competition, or if help is being offered to prevent backlash, like the article mentions. If it is to prevent backlash, it becomes an issue of insincerity, which, as Ken mentioned, is not GP.

Just some things to consider
