Re: 2 Cents About GM...
Agreed...
...BUT oftentimes it is creativity that inspires the masses; and familiarity that leads to loyalty.
I do not want to see GM or Ford die...like Malcom said, "by any means necessary."
The more a public can relate, the more it will support. If GM would ever make a move like this they would have to "give it there all.". The American car enthusiast/consumer deserves nothing less. And I for one will be there to support such an effort should it ever materialize.
We have and can build the best...we should strive to do that again. If our past had gone un-noted then there would never have been the term "American muscle car."
Europian engineering pales in the face of what we can/have achieved...ZR1...GT40...Viper...these are just a few of the hallmarks of America that proclaim our right to stand as a force to be reckoned with in the automotive industry.
"If they can build it...we can beat it."
American muscle rules!
We've got the land...we've got the highway...and nothing in this world beats the sound of an American V8 at full throttle ripping down an open strip. Nothing!
The problem is...we don't design cars with the passion that we once did...
In the past we designed cars with chrome flare and huge fins that were things of beauty...massive, metal automobiles that inspired us simply at a glance. Cars like the Corvette...the Trans Am...the Viper...the Old's 442...the old Cadillacs...that looked like they were moving when simply setting still. We need to get back to that...think outside the box...design vehicles that INSPIRE the driver...INSPIRE!...that make us "proud owners." That's where you capture the loyalty...that's where you capture the hearts...and once you have that, profitability will follow.
GM...inspire us...
