I've long maintained that GM ENGINEERING knows what it takes to extract maximum fe. They are on the leading edge of much tech back in their R&D Department.
Too bad they don't have more influence on what gets produced. Once again, I point my bony finger at the idiots in the Marketing Department.  |
Yeah I can see your point there. But I like to think there waking up now, although it may be ten years too late. I think that's why we are seeing a change in the current "Best Car Wins" advertisements, and even the lawnmower commercial (ok, maybe the last one is not really fair, but if it's true and sells cars I doubt they care much) - Over time I have purchased many products that were better than the competition that did a better job of marketing. It does not seem fair many times, but it is legal. I once owned 3 Beta VCRs because at that time they had the best video/audio quality in the market. But due to Sony's poor marketing, JVC won with VHS VCRs etc... I could site many examples.
