If GM goes to building crappy Euro econo boxes I'll just buy a Ford instead.

The engineering, you can read about my friend John Buttermore in the new Corvette / Sonic ads. The Sonic is joint project. These are at the extremes of vehicle segments, but make the point. Design vehicle where people have the greatest passion for them AND live with them every day. Th designed in Korea Sonic is built in MICHIGAN.

What the CEO is talking about is corporate politics and BS. The Cruze does not need a different control arm for every plant it is built in around the globe. In the old GM, if you didn't design it it was no good. That is the argument that the prince of a fiefdom would make and then spend HUGE dollars to put his imprint on the vehicle. There was no positive ROI generated by these actions. GM is headed down the right road. There are so many good people at GM that are passionate about the company and products it would be a disgrace if the new GM culture doesn't embrace them and prosper. I see no jobs leaving the USA over the changes the CEO presented. The result should be improved culture, improved product and improved profitability.

Jim, can you speak to this article?

BTW, my humidor is full and I have some good reds waiting.
