GM management (top level) need to spend time in SoCal dealerships and talk to customers that come to them - they will find many potential buyers that get discouraged by product features and inventory available.

They need to have their eyes opened to the fact that they are very close on many products that the bean counters have made unsellable with obvious "cost cutting" and not offering some key features for any price. All problems that can be fixed and result in a 10% sales increase without any redesigns or waiting for "next years" models.

I guarantee they can boost sales 10% in SoCal without one design change, but dozens of option/feature revisions - many that could be implemented by the end of 2008.

I like your thinking but to limit it to SoCal when many other places in the country desire the same thing, may not be the best idea. GM needs to market to the entire country not just a specific area. But as I said I do like your thoughts on offering certain features.
