Why aren't they standing up for their product. Why didn't they tell congress how they've already embraced global platforms, how GM makes more 30+ mph cars than any other company, show them they HUGE quality improvements that have already been made without help, how their styling on both exterior and interior are world class, etc, etc.
It did nothing to improve consumer confidence and only reinforced the incorrect assumption a lot of Americans had about their own cars. Made me mad. Understand the need to be humble, but as most of congress has these incorrect assumptions themselves, they should've done a better job of educating how good their cars are - would've inspired consumers with all the free press "advertising" a lot more than the "we screwed up" approach they took
