Living in the world of the Big Three I have many friends in both the white and blue collar areas of the Big Three and I don't understand how they sell them.
 
No, it doesnt surprise me. I say that, and both my vehicles are GM products.



Picture was taken with a camera phone so...
 
Maybe I'm mistaken, but one looks like a Silverado tail and the other a Sierra. In my opinion, this is part of GM's problem- far too many re-badgings of synonymous products.

And the EXACT reason they don't have the number one selling truck! The F-150 is always the best selling truck but if you add up the total of Silverados and Sierras together they outsell the F-150. At least they got rid of Olds so far.
 
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is a Silverado/Sierra thing. It gets a little confusing knowing which is which. I have a Tahoe so I know the differences from a Yukon off hand.
 
I somehow doubt that the lights were done like that on the lines. I'm not saying GM does good quality (I have one and know) fit and finish but two different tail lights? How does that get past all the inspections along the way to the dealership? And at the dealership?

What inspections? It rolls off of a line filled with p!ssed off workers and then onto a truck. LOL

The picture was taken at the dealer, obviously someone there noticed it. If you don't think that kind of stuff happens on production lines, then you clearly don't remember the work platform that got left in the space shuttle, even though the paperwork showed the workers removed it, and the inspectors stamped off on it.
 
Unless, you viewed this truck in person I would bet this is another photocrop job.

Note there are 5 sections. GM does not make a 5 section taillight that looks like the one on the right.



:nixweiss
 
What are you talking about? There's 4 sections on the right taillight and that was the standard taillight up until the newer models came out.

beat me to it...I was going to say that its an old body style light...was just talkign about this on another board.



btw...the picture is real. Its a friend of a friend that took the picture himself.
 
does gm allow/encourage workers to stop the line like the japanese auto makers do?

that's pretty interesting, but I missed it the first time time too - if I were in QC and looking at hundreds of the same truck every day, I might have missed it too. unless the brake lights are on, I don't think I would have noticed.
