Don't invest in R&D to make direct injection affordable for every single car you sell.

Don't make a fuel efficient minivan to compete with the Odyssey and Caravan.

Don't start making the 1.4L turbo any sooner.

Don't replace ancient Buick models with fresh, efficient models being sold everywhere else.

No, instead, take $25,000,000,000 from U.S. tax payers and announce a new RWD platform for the Australian Commodore. Brilliant.
No kidding.

Take care of those product cuts and shortcuts that hurt market image and prevent real leading products from getting here sooner.

Leave Apha alone until it looks like you're not going to be worth 1 dollar.
