Default If You're Going To Steal a Car, Make It A Good One!

If you're going to steal a car and take it for a joy ride, you might
as well pick a memorable ride. And this guy certainly did that!!!

Think about it... wouldn't it be yours if it was your company?

Besides, you don't inspire/motivate/reward your top engineers by
[only] building mainstream/mundane products. While I agree they need
more/better mainstream products, they also need a little balance with
some top-end stuff to instill/keep some company pride. After all,
just think if the Corvette wasn't as good/successful about how many
"generic motors" jokes we'd hear.

GM is slowly getting their act together. The Vette is top-notch, the
Caddys are sweet, Hummer is successful, Saturn is getting much better
and a whole fleet of mid-level RWD sedans are on the way. GM's
biggest problem now is a generation of buyers who will not consider a
new GM product no matter how good it is. It's going to take some
time...
