I guess you could consider it a good sign, but I don't think GM (or Ford, or Chrysler) makes any money on US sales of passenger cars (the $ is made in trucks and certain foreign markets). So it's essentially a story about "loss leaders". I'll definitely look to Asia for my next auto. Aside from quality issues, GM doesn't really offer models I'd want...

I thought the consensus was that Northern Windows is dreck because Hawes plays some electric piano (I haven't heard it, but passed it up at BMG clearance and yourmusic for that reason). Didn't know the David Axelrod production was a plus; descriptions I've read seemed a bit scary...

I'm a pretty big Hawes fan, bought Volume 3 of the All Night Sessions, but it didn't excite me, and I never purchased the first 2 volumes. As mentioned above, "Blues of a Sort" is on the OJC CD of Volume 3. I also recall an extended control room conversation (about a football game? don't recall) being strongly audible on that CD. The Hawes CDs I seem to spin the most are Blues for Bud, Four!, For Real! and Green Leaves of Summer...
