I agree with most everything that was said. In order for GM to continue a viable product they need to have just as much input into the design engineering as any of their "partners". This will not however be accomplished through this new proposed merger between GM and Nissan-Renault. Instead them calling it a merger or alliance they should call it hostile takeover. Toyota and Nissan-Renault are two imperfect entities that have numerous flaws to go around. I believe Toyo Nissan-Renault engineers should have just as much pride in their products as Gm. But I don't feel their ideas should infringe upon GM's ideas of execution. GM's turn-arouund is going to take some time. They've already being taking some strides in getting newer products to market and cutting a third of their workforce which goes to show GM sees the need to take immediate action. Newer products and product development is coming down the line and with this I think GM has a very promising future.
