Thats actually what they needed... new upper management.
Apparently they even have management that doesn't manage anyone or thing.

they need to take risks like the article says. there to safe thats why no one likes american cars

No... its because they have a horrible history of building ****ty cars and having too many cars competing against themselves.Originally Posted by shape275
Also, they have the history of not being able to handle but be rockets in the straight line.
Fix that, and you'll see people start to change their tune.
Top gear had issues with their ZR1 when they tested it in america wouldn't start after a while, people in general have issues with the cobalt yet both of those cars are GM's best offerings for FWD and RWD in terms of speed and handling.
THAT is a fail.

your right ....maybe the taurus sho is a good start

I will say this...the reason Ford and Dodge are selling right now is for the quality...and the comparison to the retro-aspect of the cars...Ford did a great job with the Mustang and Dodge did a awesome job with the Challenger...Chevy...failed to make the Camaro look anything like its yester-year counterpart...sure its fast...but it isn't the best looking...or well designed for that matter. You think since they had 8 years to design it they would have done a better job...maybe thats just me though.

Well lets see what he can do I mean if you have a crappy management team your company will fail even one as big as gm and it cant change with the same people and same methods Change is good in most cases when the alternative is complete failure
In my opinion gm makes decent cars but there name plates compete with thereselves and that has never made sense
I dont personaly care if pontiac comes back but i wouldnt mind seeing more holden cars here Hell bring them over as holden
And I like the new maro but its all in the eye of the beholder

You see, The engineers at GM that new what 1.618 ment are retired and collecting thier, whats left of thier pension/401k. It's all about the magic number 1.618, AND the cars most representative of this number are from 1965-73. That's why thier cars are so ugly today.
