Well ;we know what those ex-CEO from the american auto industry did to the big 3;bankrupt them basically.The CEO needs to manage the business not design cars and the engineers need to be guided by what the market wants and the future is.You are not going to get there by being a truck builder unless you want to downsize alot more than is planned.The specaiaity cars have to take a backseat really if you want to grow.
