Instead they wasted the chance and left the biggest automotive company in the world with their pants down. Only sad Chrysler is worse off. And there are plenty of GM execs with golden parachutes who walked away from this mess tapping their heels before and after the financial crisis. It is the worker level men and women who get royally screwed who are now on food stamps.
GM upper management has ravaged what was the number one auto manufacturer in the world and has helped turn the US midwest into a wasteland.
All that being said I like the 2010 Camaro. There is some hope for the "new" GM. I just wish the roof was 2 inches higher and it was 2 hundred pounds lighter.  But GM will never again be what it was. |
Absolutely, all the new vehicles and platforms that GM began developing since the time that Rick Wagoner and Bob Lutz showed up (leading to the CTS, Camaro, G8, Malibu, LaCrosse, Enclave, Equinox, up-comming Volt, etc) have been complete and utter garbage and they simply threw the money out the windows of the Ren Cen. Oh wait ...
