THE DEMISE OF THE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE
Say goodbye to both the Chrysler and GM brands. We can watch the death
spiral for each. Ford is not far behind. Both are set to share the fate of Nash, Hudson, Kaiser, Studebaker, Packard, Willys and many other DEFUNCT American brands. You will now be able to buy your HUMMERS built in CHINA. Buick soon to follow. While GM is hysterically looking to SELL Pontiac and Saturn -- GOOD LUCK. That's like trying to sell the Titanic on April 15th of 1912! How many people WERE (soon to be PAST TENSE) employed in the auto industry? I listened to the retardate from GM speak following the BANKRUPTCY. He said NOTHING - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to indicate that he actually KNEW why GM failed. Not a fukkking thing! Not a clue as to why his cars were ****! Not a CLUE of what could be done for GM. The asshole doesn't even know for sure how many wheels or on a car! He TALKS the "politically correct" BULL**** about going "GREEN." That's NOT the problem asshole. ****TY CARS is the problem. While GM is a textbook company from the HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL manual, excuse me if I reiterate that the FASTEST way to bankrupt a company is to allow some JERK with a Harvard MBA run the company. Harvard's model is accelerated business FAILURE. Look at what HARVARD recommends and do the EXACT OPPOSITE... They haven't a fukking CLUE. GM needs a CAR man at the top. There once was a time when to rise in a company you had to start at the bottom and prove yourself. Now these DICKHEADS come out of HARVARD and become instant CEO's... GM has had a succession of IDIOTS at the helm who didn't even have a DRIVER'S LICENSE. What's the problem? When you have 23,877 different Chevrolet models? NONE of them selling very well. How many different assembly lines is that? What happens when neither the Malibu or Cobalt sell well???? Do you retool those lines to make the Impala which is? Or do you retool to make a Camaro that isn't selling at all? GM has suffered from the HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL psychology of industrial hysteria. Throw lots of **** at the wall hoping that something will stick. ANYTHING - God PLEASE - let ONE turd stick to the wall. GM needed to go back and look at itself. Look at Al Sloan. What made GM successful? They had a GREAT Cadillac. Not a Cadillac and 45 Cheveys with the Cadillac badge. They had a big and a small Buick. The BIG Buick shared the Cadillac frame, the small Buick shared the frame from the Pontiac. But NOT 67 gazillion different Buicks. There were essentially TWO Pontiacs. And there was the cheap and the fancy Chevy. NOT 87 TRILLION different cars. So what went wrong at GM and the other companies? They were following the HARVARD business model. "MAKE IT CHEAPER AND BUILD THEM FASTER" and if they are **** - tell the customer to go fukk themselves. Harvard BOTTOM LINE 101. When the foreign companies had something that seemed to be catching on.. MAKE OUR OWN VERSION OF IT. Hence when the VW bug started to catch on make a piece of **** called the "CORVAIR." Ah the HARVARD model make **** look like THEIR good stuff! But whatever you do MAKE IT ****! Watching GM - - TRY to build a TOYOTA for the past 20 years has been a live sitcom. And the plan is to DO MORE OF IT! LOTS AND LOTS more of the SAME. But "CALL" it "GREEN!" That's the ticket, let's SAY we are "GREEN" now. Let's take that 9,000 pound Caddy and put a 1.2 liter 4 cylinder engine in it! NOW we GOT GREEN! 40 MPG at 40 MPH (it's TOP SPEED) Zero to 40 is just under a week! Or - let's make golf carts and tell folks it's our NEW Buick! Oh yeah GM is on a new road.......... RIGHT! How many TRILLIONS will the government have to throw at GM to keep it going? This is hilarious - GM on WELFARE - and it will work JUST AS WELL as WELFARE always has. Just keep throwing OUR money down that BLACK HOLE. |
