GM sucks and Rick Wagoner is a douchebag

June 16, 2008

This article is filled with tidbits, but the worst part discusses how the CEO of General Motors (Rick Wagoner) has had a nice pay-boost this year. Rick-the-dick has gotten a 64% boost in compensation during the same year his company lost nearly $40 billion and closed four factories.

    GM on Tuesday came out with a “resolution” plan for Congress which mentions the sale or closing of specific GM divisions. Saturn was in this list but they were very vague as to the future of this company in the scheme of GM things.

    Saturn has been GM’s most innovative company since it debuted as an independent company in 1990. GM has done everything it can do to screw things up for Saturn via lack of advertisement and strangulation of a fresh product line.

    Saturn was never advertised a a GM product until 2004 when it was fully merged with them and now with Rick the dick and his Hummer-luvin’ butt buddy Bob “the Putz” Lutz have come up with the genius idea to cross-brand almost all of Saturn’s original products across the GM line, thus confusing the public and killing off any individuality that Saturn had as a “different kind of car”.

    While Pontiac and Saturn are in dire straights right now, GM continues to invest millions in new Hummer product development. Yes, Hummer, the over-gorged ex-military wanna-be vehicle for middle aged assholes with penises even too tiny for corvettes. Bob Lutz’s baby.

    Starved of proper marketing and new individual products only an idiot like Wagoner and his buddies could scratch thier heads ands wonder why the most sucessful company in the GM line has been the most unprofitable. Saturn has built what is the largest customer following of any American car on the market today. Even Wagoner and Lutz admitted to Congress that “the average transaction (profit) of an SUV is $4,000. small cars are substantially less” . SO, what does that tell you about these idiots point of view about REALLY turning GM around to build more gas efficient safe smaller cars, um…like Saturn ALREADY has?

    FIRE these douchebags, give GM over to someone like Ed Wellburn or someone with true innovative ideas.
