I bet Ed Welbourne and Scott Settlemire are glad to be retired.
Wagoner also sent GM into bankruptcy chasing to keep the sales title.

Akerson bailed and ran and left the ignition debacle for Mary to handle.

I wouldn't classify either as good CEO's.

Car enthusiast products may have come out under them, but they created crisis's for GM as a company.
