It sounds realistic. There are some things I don't agree with...but what do I know?

I do disagree with a perceived lack of interest by GM in RWD cars. One, because I'm not aware of a collective corporate consciousness...Two, because the folks within GM LOVE the Camaro, and Corvette...three, because Holden does RWD the way it was meant to be done, and they need a Commodore -- which means they need a new RWD platform...and four, the V6 Camaro dispelled all beliefs that RWD can't be efficient. At the very least, I bet it made some people pause and say "hmm...".

I think we'll see GM do 90% of what they said...not because MotorTrend knows how to run a car company better than a 100-year-old car company does...but because I think GM's been planning to do most of all that already.

Here's to hoping!

You mean like the Camaro(risk, fun)?...like the Volt(innovate)?...the Malibu(invest)?
