For all of those that don't like to read, move along, this post is going to be a LONG ONE.
#1 When "you" feel that "your" favorite car company would have been better, should have been chosen, etc...shoot them a letter. See if you get a response. Last time I checked, GM was the only company offering the vehicles for free, whereas everyone else wants to charge. #2 "Oh noes! Teh moviez haz teh GMz in it, just liek transformers!"...yep, and it's probably going to gross a bajillion dollars domestic just like Transformers did too, so get shelf space for it ready now, so "you" can be sure to buy a copy like "you" did with Transformers. #3 Last time I checked, GM actually beat Toyota in quality for the first time in a LONG TIME. Or wait, maybe I'm just crazy..but the Malibu is Car of the year, right? Next time youw ant to talk "Quality", google search Lexus + Oil Sludge...and find out why Toyota, the great that it is, doesn't want John Q. Consumer knowing that it's high-ticket line, the Lexus, has a HUGE lawsuit pending because of BAD OIL in it's cars, leading to bad engines, leading to pissed off consumers...which lead to Toyota saying "too bad for you, consumer". Everyone is allowed to their opinions. Please, the internet is a great tool. If anyone wants to share their opinion, by all means, do so, but do the research first, because all the arguments laid out on the table so far are bunk. First Argument - GM vehicles, again? Yes. Last time I checked, the Military doesn't rock daewoos. Second Argument - American Quality sucks!: Ok, I can agree, it did, there's no doubt there. Our companies have done A LOT to lose that Moniker. Finally....I'm not calling anyone out, but for those that thump their chest while screaming out AMERICA in other threads (ie - The Joe Logo and anything movie related), you shouldn't preach on about how American cars suck and you'd prefer to see something else...kinda makes "you" look like a hypocrite, capiche?

Right, I see them using Hummer H3s in Iraq on the news all the time.. They go with those guns which never run out of bullets. HMMWV /= Hummer HX The HMMWV was made by AM General which is owned by LTV. They simply license the Brand and Visual characteristics to GM for the Hummer line.. Which makes the GM Hummer H1, H2, H3, H4 and HX.. Civilian models. Its nothing against GM, I simply hate product placement. having Brand names in focus where I can read them is almost as annoying as a refrigerator with everything turned backwards.

Right because G.I. Joe is a real Military Unit and we are not talking about a Fictional Movie! My Bad.... Quote:

Unfortunately, no, they won't come as standard options. I already asked For whatever reason, no one thinks a cow catcher & grenade launcher are good "add ons". |

I dont think its good, cause it makes me think that there going to use real military vehicles for the film, and non of those that hasbro created in the past like in the 80's such as the H.I.S.S. tanks.
