And why can some make more fuel efficient cars? Because they have been using and are now upgrading from a technology developed in GM in 1972 ... and GM still does not have those technologies in their 2006 vehicles.
Recently did some GM product numbers. GM products once only did 52 Hp/liter. Now GM is doing 61 HP per liter in some V-8s. Why would they spend any money developing V-8s? No vehicle needed a V8. 80% of Toyotas are four cylinder engines. And who is eating GM's lunch every day? Same company that put GM's 1972 technology in their 1992 cars - Toyota.
GM can cry all it wants. But its top management does not even drive. Its top management did not even come from where the work gets done. Even its chief engineer - a graphics art student.
Pretty is defined by what it does - not the shiny paint. Any whore can fix herself with more makeup. Does that really make her pretty? Only bankruptcy can fix GMs only problem - management that does not even know how to drive.
Ford problems are same. Ford also does not have 70 HP per liter engines in all vehicles. Like GM, Ford puts whore V-8s in trucks to appease ‘big dic’ mentalities – rather than go after intelligent customers. Well, at least Ford is admitting how bad Ford has stifled innovation. So Ford may be negotiating to buy that technology from Toyota.
