GM Management is the worst in the nation. They have had their heads up their butts for many a year. FoMoCo's Bill Ford just didn't have the charisma,political skill or support for his far ranging, prophetic ideas for the company in 1990 or Ford would be well poised now for econo changes that Bill wanted to implement in 1990...remember his "eco" assembly plant? and his calls for 25 mpg minimum in 5 years? Ford took forever to get rid of Nasser...now they suffer. Chrysler, the most innovative manufacturer and winners of more engineering awards and style/design awards than any other company has been caught up in a bad relationship with Mercedes Benz that stifled radical changes and eco design advance and are now in the grips of Cerebus which is a financial concern that now is trying to bail ouit...so don't expect much from Chrysler unless someone like Lee Ioccoca steps in and Cerebus steps out. Chrysler is best poised for econ car production in my estimation.
