Deals! Deals! Deals!

CNN/Money reports: Where the summer car deals are. Check out these deals!

Other vehicles on Consumer Reports "Best Deals" list for this month are the 2006 Buick Rendezvous CX AWD, with potential savings of almost $7,000; the 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LT, with potential savings of about $3,000; and, from Chrysler, the 2006 Jeep Liberty Sport V6 4WD with potential savings of about $4,000.

Now, no pushing or shoving on the way to get a Monte Carlo! Bwahahahahahaha!

The Detroit News reports: GM touts sweeter financing deals.

But GM has taken its lumps for pulling back on incentives as rivals go full-throttle with deals.

Through June, GM's sales are down 12 percent and its U.S. market share has fallen to 24.1 percent, from 26.8 percent a year ago, according to Autodata Corp.

But GM is making the right moves to fix its business, even if the process is painful now, said Tom Libby of J.D. Power and Associates' Power Information Network.

"When you adopt that program, you're going to see short-term struggling," he said. "But what they're doing is right on the money."

Monte Carlo! Bwahahahahahaha!

The only way the Monte Carlo is going to sell is if GM announces that four random buyers of the Monte Carlo will receive a bonus of $30,000. Now, replace four with all and random with nothing.
