I kind of agree with Drucker on this one, but it is management's responsibility to ensure such a culture exists. Not so sure re this one. If the economic benefits of retaining these vehicles' production in the US outweigh the economic costs, keeping them in the US is a positive NPV decision (to put it in capital budgeting / investment language), and positive NPV investments are those that increase the value of a company. The only argument I might see here is that shifting production to the outside of the US might yield higher NPV thsn keeping them there, but to reach that conclusion Mr. Wartzman would have had to see the numbers, and I doubt he has access to them.

I had an idea that it was close to being front-mid-engined but that the front of the engine was placed above the front wheels. My bad then.

Me too. That looks just like a VW snout.

is this the hsv surprise? will the wagon be the holden surprise?

I'm thinking the same, but I'm guessing front-mid-engine like the SLR, not rear-mid-engine like a F430.

Perhaps the C7 will not have a rear-mounted transmission? We know very little about what's being considered engineering-wise.

For a metrossexual-meets-blue-collar look, maybe?

i think fog lights should be standard in base models, even if there's no chrome insert.

Yes, it was! Response to thread: Maxwell

the body kit and wheels are excessive imo, and painting a car refrigerator white doesn't help either.

I think the 1st post said the manual would be a different model, which I assume to be a GXP. I still think they should offer manuals across the board, although I understand there are not many people that can drive a manual car in the US. Having Pontiac do some perception- and image-building would be nice for a change.

my only complain about this is the lack of a manual transmission option in those two models. if the demand is low and there's an extra cost to offering manuals in the G8 (i can only think of emissions-related reasons - the Holden SV6, SS and SS-V offer manuals in AUS), reverse 'tradition' and make the manual an extra-cost option. but offer the damn manuals.

the way the text is written it appears the sky's falling on their heads, hence my comment...

Since there's a hydroelectric powerplant just outside the Innovatum Area in Trolhättan and plenty of hydroelectric power generation capacity throughout Sweden, maybe they have more sockets to compensate?

What about having a hedging strategy in derivatives markets?
