The link wont disclose how much money they lost but other sources say somewhere around 11 million dollars in advertising.


LA Times loses GM advertising

Re: L.A. Times messed up bad

The G6 is a good car, and it's been selling like hot cakes though, i'm guessing LA Times is negotiating with GM right now and whoever did the write up is no longer associated with The LA Times though. I got to drive one recently and i can tell you that car hauls ass, i can't wait for the GTP Coupe model to come out, that things gonna be ballsy.

Re: L.A. Times messed up bad

win - win for GM. They're cut ad spend by $11m, yet probably more people are talking about their cars as a result

GM has produced one dud after another. Though, the G6 is marginally better then the Azcrap they finally killed off.

That Aztek was crap although it did sell a lot of units out here. GM has a lot of good new models out now.

It's not the first time the L.A. Times has fluffed stories up for their own benefit. When will they ever learn.
