I think GM needs to approach this intelligently. My perception of Toyota was formed when I drove a Camry and it instantly struck me---the damm thing makes NO noise. Its like you are driving 2 inches above the road.

Can GM replicate this? Can GM get a characteristic that you and I would talk about similarly and do it at a good price? Anything is fine--Great interiors, best fuel efficiency, really quiet, really powerful etc.,take your pick.

I doubt it.
A couple of months ago Chevy had to turn to a Japanese company to stamp
out the hood of the new HHR (the "Me-Too Cruiser").

Nearly 100 years of car-building and building vehicles that helped win
WWII...and GM can't stamp out the sheetmetal for a new model.
Perhaps more shameful...maybe they drew up the design plan first,
only later waking up to the fact that it was too complex for GM to fabricate.
No way to make a profit.
Or even pay healthcare for union workers.
