Small, tactical strikes on competeing companies.
We start by harassing the supplies going into pruduction plants, at first introducing defective parts. This will make dependbillity and value of enemy products go down and force more people to switch to GM.
Then we start taking out their supplys completely, causing production numbers to further drop.
Sales will go down and they will be forced to sell out to GM.
Look, it'* not flawless, but it'* an idea. We can fine tune it.

Maybe if we took some of the heat off GM they'd be able to concentrate on making their products better.

Oh come on! No car is too small for a V8! But I can understand where you're coming from. Plus a turbo 4 is coming out anyway for that car. Colbalt, you're probably right, a V6 would be too much. I think a turbo 4 would be best (I agree with you).
Oh, a AWD is a must. That is one of the first things that needs to be done. And I really like the new Legacy GT with the 250hp turbo H4.
I was just using the SSEi as an example, I don't want GM to use that nomenclature, just a visual example that'* all.

And you are also right. Protectionism and virtual market dominance is one of the reasons GM (and Ford) are in the soup today. Lack of real competition tends to breed complacency and incompetence.

I was looking for a Chevy Tahoe one time, and I could not find one with 4x4, no dvd player, cloth interior, etc. I knew exactly how I wanted it, and that'* how I was gonna buy one, no other way, there went one of their customers. GM has never directly made a penny off of me. That would have been my first new car, and the way it looks, I'll never be able to buy a new GM car or truck, so they'll never make a penny off of me. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.
Wondered what GM was coming to.... Still wondering

Look at Subaru. Racing scene: accepted. Foul weather set: love 'em. Me: want one (Legacy GT at least)
And oh yeah, stop this crap:
Badge engineering didn't work the first time, won't work again....
