It seems General Motors is often intent on doing its own thing when nearly everybody else is doing otherwise. Such seems to be the case with its OnStar phone system.
Flexfuel. Plug-in hybrids. Chevrolet Volt. Signs of General Motors (re)newed interest in the environment?
With Ford Motor Co. in the midst of a massive turnaround, solid products have never been more critical to the success of the company. So what does it do with its 2008 Focus but take away almost all the attributes that endeared it to enthusiasts?
In The Truth About Cars, writer Tom Anderson speculates why Ford Motor Co. continues to insist in keeping what he considers “…fractionally ritzier but still blander-than-John-Kerry- eating-vanilla-ice-cream Fords with waterfall grilles.” He points, of course, to the now defunct Oldsmobile as the “solution” to dealing with the brand. Comments on the article support his suggestion.
I can’t believe how stupid enthusiasts can be.
