What I think I would do, if I was the CEO of GM and did not need to answer to Obama.
Close Buick they are lost and to close to Caddy.
Close GMC and if Chevy does not have it Re-badge it and make it a Chevy.
Make all dealers GM dealers and let them all sell anything that GM makes. Except for Caddy they must be more up scale!
Stop making minivans all together no one wants them and other company's do it much better.
Something must be done with the unions to save costs, they are going to strangle the company. Let them get real or bust them up.
I'm sure but they must be way to heavy in middle management, cut a lot of it. No more plants overseas except for China for Car sold only in China.Caddie's made in Mexico, stop!
Any car that is not profitable on it's own is gone no more well the other car line will carry it mentality.
Get Jay Leno on the pay roll of PR, customer outreach and outside consultant along with Chip Foose.
Keep going with Volt and get your Washington lobbyist get BIG TAX breaks on each from the government that will be passed onto the consumer from day one.
Quality will need to be as good as what Hyundai has done in the last few years.
Close Saturn and roll the Vue over to Pontiac stop the Aura it's a Malibu. Make the Astra into Chevy and call it a Cobalt.
Unload Saab ASAP. Buy something cool like Tesla, I bet a lot of talent to be had over there but they need to grow.
More tech see Ford sync with Microsoft.
Hire the best looking girl I can find to get my coffee.
Green light some cool Camaro like projects, Build momentum.
Buy back a lot of your own stock, it's very cheap now!
Keep the hybrid trucks going but make that technology cheaper some how.
It was a good start take it further for less money.
Make the dealers compete with a direct to consumer website to sell cars direct to the customer, that will straighten there ass out real quick.
Factory tours for every line of cars that builds loyalty.
I think that will be it for the first day!
