I think GM may be better at absorbing government money then producing
innovative products.    I vote for too heavy to be worth the power it
produces.

You mean Government Motors :) Just think... they get to spend an unlimited
amount
of your tax money to convince you to buy a car from them :) They don't need
to build anything better than anybody else as they cannot go broke. Not as
long
as we still pay taxes. What they will wind up selling is a Trabant :)

A Trubant?  Paul, that's harsh.  Anyway, I don't think GM ever
really mastered the use of composites for making body parts
at a reasonable price :-)

Maybe I'm missing the joke about composites, but it seems like GM
products have long been heavily dependent on plastics (FRP) for
exterior body parts..  From just about all of the Saturn and Corvette
bodies to just about all of the bumper covers, air dams and roll pans
have been FRP of some flavor.  GM has made money on some of its cars,
but lost tons on others.
