My definition of insanity:
Doing the same thing in the same way and expect different results!!!!!
I am so frustrated with all this. We have been putting up with decisions made by bean counters. They know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Dont those people do market surveys or focus group? And if they do, who are they talking to. People who just bought a Hummer!!!

with your definition of insanity. I may go out on a limb and get bashed with this, but it seems that even with the concept Camaro that was posted in here... the bada$$ bow tie is just a copy of the new Mustang .

It just seems to me that <with exception to the Corvette> that GM has simply followed current trend since the beginning of the 80's. Chrysler introduced the minivan... Chevy followed. Chrysler introduced the "cab forward" design with the Interpid... Chevy countered with a similar design Monte Carlo. Chrysler introduced the "retro" look with the Prowler and PT Cruiser... Ford ran with the idea and reinvented the Mustang and the GT... Chevy comes out with a "concept" that is too little too late. and finally Mitusbishi, Honda, Toyota... and many others have dominated the small car marketplace, and while this is market controls a large demand, GM counters with the Aveo and the Cobalt??? Now that is a winning combination

I certainly hope that GM comes up with some ideas to keep them atop the manufacturers, because it looks awful bleek to me. Long live the Corvette because it seems to be the only innovative idea that the general has been able to sustain.
