    after reading the Detroit News piece I'm pretty worried that if they're scaring ALL of the GM lifers out there will be no one left with enough experience to steer the boat. Or help paddle.

    Fritz might have let the Opel, Saturn and Saab deals fall apart, but he wasn't pissing away the core brands. Now 3 of those brands have questions in leadership positions. Including Chevy...which is kind of important and about to launch its most important product...Cruze. Not volt.

    Cruze was already shot in the foot launching to the public with 40 mpg on the day after fritz was fired and got no attention.

    Really makes you wonder.

    I cannot be the only one here, to think that having a 101 year old fighter pilot at the helm of a 101 year old corporation is FREAKING GENIUS.

    Now tell me when he gets the job.

    Time for some fresh blood. Bring in Max Records; he can be "King of Marketing."

    Yes, I know, GM ate all the previous kings.

    Okay, If you want to make a point of differentiating the four GM brands, don't use the same slogan for more than one brand.

    I've heard "May the Best Car Win" used for Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac, and last time I checked, they were different brands.

    Also, don't go advertising a 5-year warranty as the "best in the business" if other automakers stand behind their cars for 10 years.

    Damn you, GM. Damn you. Always trying to keep me just interested enough to not abandon your fanboy camp; this time, you do it by putting Lutz back where he belongs: coming up with awesome cars.

    But no. I realize that Whitacre is responsible for Lutz' move back to product, but one good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of dickheadedness. Keep Lutz in product, ensure that Whitacre's "temporary" status is well and truly temporary, and replace Whitacre with a newer, younger, more forward-thinking CEO, and I will return.

    Love,

    pauljones, still somewhere over in the Ford encampment.

    Soon there will be as many reasons to love GM as there are to love AT&T.

    @Alfisted: If GM is really like AT&T, the government will force them to split into several smaller companies, and then before long each of them will be larger than the original that was broken up.
