GM says: One of the Big american Three will die
I couldnt help but reflect on the above quote from the head honcho of General Motors. Supposedly, he claims that because of the dire sales of american cars, american manufacturers are pushed to a corner and this will eventually force one of the big three (GM, Ford or Chrysler) will ultimately collapse. Obviously, he believes GM are in the best shape right now.
Amazingly, when chrysler was gung-ho about the success of the 300 series, early last year, people thought that the car manufacturer had turned the corner and was the best placed of the big 3. Everyone knows it is a competitive market and the big 3 are still selling some "at best amateurish" models like the american focus ( couldnt find many badly executed designs from chrysler actually). Given, I am a fan of both muscle cars (mustang, charger, etc) and sleek cars (Civic, etc), the big 3 should think about making good looking exteriors and interiors. At the least, you can make fuel efficient bland looking cars and there are many that I dont have to give an example.
