You mentioned that YOU own GM -- well -- YOU -- (The Government) is basically responsible for why the Caprice is not probably going to be a reality.
CAFE standards. 35mpg by 2016........
Civic does not get 35mpg
Corolla does not get 35mpg
Aveo does not get 35 mpg
(Cobalt XFE gets OVER 35mpg...)
......so how does the industry hit that number??????
Mebbe Fritz isn't a ditz.

You don't publicly disgrace your #1 employee, right after you emerge from bankruptcy. In essence, by Fritz saying "Bob says alot of things but he works for me", and puting it out for the publict to see, shows infighting and bickering and the "new" GM isn't even a month old. It's like he's hanging Bob out to dry - not that Bob needs anyone to defend him, but it shows poor leadership skills and a lack of confidence by Fritz.
Bob knows product, plain and simple, and he talks off the cuff. Fritz knew that going into this - he needs to STFU!
If he is like this with this relatively small issue, how will he respond with much greater issues?
Scott you should read the GM blog. Bob Lutz has the majority of the country in his corner. Maybe not for the product reversal so much as the way Fritz handled it (but you can bet your sweet bippy that many people are mucho pissed that the G8 will not survive in some fashion at Chevy).
