Roaming while driving and dropped calls

Too bad, GM is putting out some awesome cars nowdays, and their trucks rock.

Oh practically the same car you could have bought in 2006 at a little less of a price?

T-Mobile got a crap load of aws spectrum from at&t in that area from the breakup. I would expect coverage before long.

Umm, no. T-Mobile has had nationwide AWS since 2006. If they haven't built out an area by now, it's because they don't want to/can't afford to.

It dont take much convincing Chevy is bad, Their "it" car catches on fire(Volt) and there other cars haven't changed much from 2005 and on top of that the build quality isn't that good.

I just bought a Volt and it is pretty nice actually. I swore I'd never by another domestic car again too, which it makes it all the funnier. I think that it is the 8th or 9th car my family has now (makes for a crowded driveway when they are all home), and it will be joining our 5 imports (Lexus, Honda, Volvo) and domestics (Chrysler, and another GM car). The GM & Chrysler cars we have now suck terribly, but the Volt is actually good.

The other car I primarily drive is a luxury convertible, and I bought the Volt as a commuter car [HOV access on CA highways] (though it was an expensive one at over $50k out-the-door), but I'll probably make the Volt my primary, just based on driving it so far.

Yeah, so they got tons of spectrum from at&t in a market they both don't service and won't? Riiight. Lmao.

Have fun with a domestic more than 5 years from now
Our 2009 GMC Yukon Denali which came out to be around $68,000 is falling apart pretty quick... Roofline falling out and rattling, of course the rattling they can't hear so they refuse to fix it. Maybe its just me though because I have had problems with brand new cars falling apart including an Infiniti FX50... Never had a convertible, probably never will because I need a big car for traveling. I swear by Subaru's now though because my Legacy has been the best car ever and its only an entry level luxury car though the 18/25 MPG sucks so its left me thinking about getting a Volt as well if I can afford it after wasting all the money on gas for this stupid Yukon which gets 10mpg in heavy traffic.

Wow. That sounds just like our other GM car--literally a piece [power steering makes a groaning noise, cheap plastic dash pieces rattle, etc.]. This seems to be built much better though, and it is seriously apparent how much more quality they really did put in (like triple door seals instead of a single thin strip of rubber in the other GM car).

Ford still makes a much better truck, especially in the longevity department. I'm taking both the Malibu and Silverado in this week to trade them for an F150 and Mustang in a month or so since they're both paid off finally.

Yea the Volt is a very nice car and reflects the *new* Chevy, I really like their newer designs like the Volt, Malibu Eco, and the Cruze, especially the safety considerations they have put into the new cars.

The Yukon is all plastic junk on the inside, the only good thing about it is the body itself and power train because boy does that 6.2L V8 purr when you need it towing boats. Everything else including the electrical components and the interior have fallen apart, the once good sounding stereo now reeks of rattles and shakes anytime a song with any type of bass comes on.

I even like their car's like the refreshed Mustang and Taurus and especially the new Fusion.

You can't lump all domestics together. I've had nothing but fords, and got 10-15 years and 200k out of all of them without much issue. I got rid of my 1989 Taurus sho in 2002 with 200 k on it for a 96 explorer with 88k drive it till this year, finally sold it with 201k. Still going strong. Got rid of my 87 f150 with 324k in
2003 for a 91 f150. I'm still driving it. Finally, I gave my 91 escort to my brother in 2006 with 134 k and in 2009 bought a 96 contour with 124 k on it for $1200, have driven it for 3 years now. It had 166 k on it now, I have had no issues, and its still going strong. I have more examples, but I'm sure you see what I'm talking about.

Thats what they said when our Van had issues with the power door, And once we got into our final months before getting rid of it luckily when we would turn the wheel or accelerate some times the traction control would mess up and says that is was turning on when it was already supposed to be on and then it would make a grinding noise like the drive shaft wasn't connected to the wheels.

Another thing I personally don't like is that they make big engines that don't produce much owed compared to others. Their 6.0Litre V8 produces less power then a 5.7Litre HEMI and also gets less gas mileage, and the 6.2 Litre has maybe 12 more horse power and it drinks fuel faster then John Goodman eats food.

Ford would be no where without Volvo's and Mazda's engineering prowess. Even now, Mazda has them beat on their 4 cyl engines (Which are, older Mazda designs) when it comes to efficiency.

Besides that, T-Mobile specifically sought out to swap spectrum with CricKet in Wisconsin. They obviously have plans for the state.

The only thing that bothers me with Ford is their pricing, you don't get many options for the money compared to other companies but if I was willing to spend an extra few thousand I would defiantly consider.

I believe that if Philip Humm is left alone, they will. I think DT going around trying to make a quick buck off selling t-mobile slowed some of his plans. If they can leave well enough alone, I think good things will happen.

Their new Ecoboost engines are pretty sweet, even though some tech is from Mazda it's all Ford now.
