Great emails. :cheers:
While there may be a lot of committee driven decisions at a company as big as GM, do not under estimate the influence one person can have. Bob Lutz is already improving things and will continue to do so. It takes a strong and/or well known personality to steer decisions away from the group-think choices that produce bland products.
You are always going to have the realities of the market to deal with while considering the bottom line. That doesn't mean you can't improve the fundamentals of the products though. The long term health and profitability is going to be improved with better products, not short term group choices based on immediate bottom line feedback.
I'm glad to have a car guy back in a position of power at GM.
