Jesus tap-dancing Christ, I hate reading forums that are nothing but arguments.
FOCUS: Although I'm young and naive, I do think that Wagoner is probably the best guy for the job, at least for now.
It seems people also worry about GM losing the Number 1 Spot to Toyota. Although Number 1 always sounds great, in a lot of cases, it isn't. Here's a terrible example:
McDonalds & Burger King. Anytime something bad comes up about Fast Food, McDonalds gets the heat despite the fact that Burger King is also responsible for fat kids.
Same thing with GM and Toyota. Right now, most critics seem to poke and prod every one of GM's moves, and have little good to say about the company, despite its efforts to improve quality(which they have) and release new vehicles. When was the last time Toyota released a totally new vehicle? I have not yet read an article critical of Toyota's lack of new design and yet I have read tons of articles saying that the new HHR is a "PT Cruiser Clone," that it's "too retro" and in another case, "too dopey :blink: ."
Toyota recalls its Hybrids due to software problems, and GM has a recall for the rear latch on its SUV's... guess which recall got more press in my local paper... (cough, GM, cough)
So you know what, let Toyota have the Number 1 Spot. It'll only take a short time until some critic describes the new Camry as "fat and boring." Soon afterwards, maybe writers will realize that Toyota quality may be a thing of the past, and that other brands have matched or surpassed it. With GM in second place, people may finally give Bob Lutz or Rick Wagoner the credit they deserve. Honestly, who cares if your number two. That doesn't stop people from buying Toyota's, and it really won't stop people from buying GM's.
Where's my Rum n' Coke? I need to cool down...
