Chrysler ...GM is not out of the woods by any means. Chrysler is a dead company walking. Ford is going to be the number one domestic company soon. GM is the real question.<br /><br />GM blew it when they lost even more market share and gave the executives a bonus for not losing even more market share. That was a sign that they just don't get it. <br /><br />I grew up in Flint and have worked in the automotive industry for decades now. The management team in place at GM is the same group that got GM in this mess. Most people feel they're incapable of changing the company. <br /><br />RichardAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14443803862384956393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-51365608926730060362009-10-23T08:46:50.662-07:002009-10-23T08:46:50.662-07:00Oops, my bad.

All my life when asked what kind of car someone had, I would only be able to tell you the color. Many scoffs were made because I didn't know models/makes in Buick Town. Nice to know it's all about the color now. ;pgrumkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834121792263687217noreply@blogger.com
