This guy is going to kill GM if he doesn't either shut the F up or die. The last thing GM needs is greedy stock holders exploiting their weak market position for their own benefit, without looking at the future and big picture. Yes, GM is still rather weak. They are in the midst of finnishing off final runs of many pre-Bob Lutz era designs that are pretty bad or sub-par quality (Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Rendezvous) which is still hurting GM, while at the same time just starting to roll out all the new Lutz models (Sky, Aura, Solstice, and soon our beloved Camaro) which are going to really help the company. GM has many more great cars in the pipeline over the next few years (G8, RWD Impala, redesigned CTS) that are just going to be the best GM has ever produced. Its obvious Kevorkian isn't looking to the future. I think even GM anticipated this transitional period to be tough. Restructuring the company, buyouts, and closing old plants while opening new ones are all pieces of the renessance of GM. It's what they need to do, and they are doing it. You just can't make 20 years of bad cars and worse company management go away in 20 days. Kerkorian is nothing but a greedy old bastard, and instead of sticking his nose in GM he should be living his days out at the Shady Tree nursing home.
