Most of the model consolidation we've done is behind us. There will be some fine tuning.
From Rick Wagoner
I'm not sure we think it's a win to talk about what you're taking out.
The big and the fast beat the small and the fast. If you check out the NBA today, they're big and fast.
I remember very clearly at the first budget review having a pretty direct conversation with the head of manufacturing... We began to get huge improvements in productivity and responsiveness. I got a chance to see that firsthand.
This is a game that's going to play as long as you're playing it. It's never going to end. It'll go until I retire, and when the next person has the job, they'll be on it too.
A lot of other things come along with Chapter 11, which basically end up in a lot of pain.
We believe in fair exchange rates and Japan doesn't practice that. They have massive U.S. dollar reserves, and they use them to intervene regularly.
I was willing to go just about anywhere in the U.S. for the best job - except New York City. Of course, I received a job offer from GM - in New York City.
It's fine if you're making 1,000 or 2,000 of an electric car, and I think there is value in that in a lot of ways, but it's not going to have a big dent in oil consumption in the country, or CO2 emissions.
Honestly, I can't tell you what I what I would be doing if I wasn't chairman of GM, because this is all I've done.
