Flash came on Bloomberg terminal a bit ago. Fritz Henderson to retire. Forced out, or had enough?

Government Motors sales last month fell 2% whereas Ford and Toyota are up. Time to go.

That is going to be one tough job no matter what. Good luck to who's next.

came across bloomberg as retire. Generally speaking I trust them as compared to some "source" at CNBC which is generally a bloomberg terminal 🙂

Step down in this article.

The search for a replacement should be interesting. They'll have to find someone to run a multi-national corporation at government wages.

Definitely interesting.

For the love of god GM...don't get rid of Lutz.

He was supposed to retire at the end of what - last year? For how long did he re-up?

Government Motors is to shallow - new name is Grave Motors

Somewhat on topic, I am not big fan of commercials that claim they are better than toyohonda just because their base I4 engine gets one more mpg on the highway.

Also, I've looked at car comparisons that they provide on their site - believe or not, they hide every category where competitor is better. so if there are 30 categories and GM car is better in 2 of 30; they will show only two categories.

Nah, not on topic at all. But thanks for sharing!

Apparently his daughter blew up about it on Facebook, too..dropping the F-bomb and saying "screw you" to GM and the current acting chairman. Real classy.

I agree on the commercials. They say compare and may the best car win, it's working.
