What Does Average General Motor's Customer Think Of The GM Fastlane Blog?

To me what matters most is what customer's think; after all they pay your paycheck. Blogging research to me should not just focus on the people who run the blogs, but also the people who read the blogs.

General Motor's Fastlane blog postings have generated a lot of traffic to this blog. I suspect the people who found the blog were not looking for an analysis of GM's blog. Quite a few people who comment on this blog on GM articles, seem by their content to indicate the commentators thought they were addressing General Motors and Bob Lutz. I've interviewed a few people about their experiences on the GM blog to learn about their opinions of the blog. After listening to them, I came to a few conclusions and gave some unsolicited advice to GM about their blog.

I'd like to hear more from GM blog readers, what do you think of the GM Fastlane blog, and what do you think of GM for providing the blog to GM customers? How do you think GM can use the blog in the future?

Here's a listing of all the articles the blogsurvey has covered in the last year on GM:
