    No they didn’t, BUT they don’t need to be choked to death again by know nothing dimbulbocrats making marketing/product decisions just to keep the criminal leaders of the UAW in power. Should have let them go under, Toyota buy the assets and dump the UAW and hire the workers back at fair wages w/o the extortion.

    Buzz - the previous management did a great job of giving the American public what it wanted. If they had tried to sell U.S. econo-boxes starting in 2000 they would have been out of business by 2005 anyway.

    nomie in ‘76 the US automotive industry set the “standard”. Love hearing all the excuses as to what happened.

    Fortune magazine pointed out that GM has been declining for forty (40) years. They did a great job of ignoring reality. Contrary to the management giving the American public what it wanted, they convinced Congress to give tax breaks on the most wasteful vehicles and discouraged innovation in their own company.

    Considering that Toyota is the biggest car company in the world now, I think your argument has a few holes, nomad. And GM had hybrid technology first!

    Ah, those criminal leaders in the UAW, and those terrible workers and their extortionate wages. Not a word about executives with exorbitant salaries and perks and golden parachutes when things don’t work out according to the promises in large print on the snake-oil package. Not hard to see where a genius like «oldlegodad» is coming from….

    motivemagus - So, it’s Congress’ fault? Anyway, the point is still valid. If GM had changed direction 9 years ago it would still be in the same shape that it is today by 2005.
