As I said before .......
Styling sells ......
Quality sells ......
Warranty sells .....
The original Camaro was years behind Mustang and the HHR is years behind the PT. GM must be a styling leader, not a follower.
GM must continue to refine the quality of its vehicles. Put them at the top of every industry quality list. GM must be a quality leader.
No GM vehicle should have a warranty of less than 4 years and 50K miles. GM must be a warranty leader.
As for RWD/FWD/AWD, luxury models should be moved to RWD/AWD, while small cars can remain on a FWD platform, for increased interior room. Midsize vehicles should move to RWD/AWD where appropriate. The right mix of FWD/RWD/AWD is important. My CTS got stuck in the snow last year. Snow tires might have helped, but AWD would have been better for Northern Illinois.
In the interest of gaining sales, all 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder vehicles should move to OHC (which I hate). They are more expensive to build and service, but it's time to go with the flow. Just make ours better, quieter and more fuel efficient.
OHV performance V8's must continue to improve and be used in the Corvette, CTS-V, Trailbalzer SS and any other performance model. An OHV 12 or 16 cylinder, with DOD, must be put into production for the Slade and full size performance trucks, along with the ULS.
Finally, GM should keep the car buying public informed on new vehicles or advances in technology. Not all car buyers get their info from C&G, or any other forum. It's time to brag about GM's vehicles and technology all year long, not just while discussing the employee pricing. Make people want to own a GM vehicle.
Just remember, GM bragged about DOD long before anyone else, yet some others beat GM to the market. Bragging must be followed through with on time delivery of product.
