What the American Automobile Companies Need Now Is........

NO it isnt love or understanding. Its product that they are in dire need of. They just missed and an important transition that could have propelled them back into the big time. The automobile excutives should have forsseen the energy crisis and had products to take advantage of it. That is what they are paid for. They are paid to see trends before they happen and develop products to take advantage of those trends. Unfortatunely this isnt happening and that is a major reason why the Big 3 shrunk to the little 3. Ford's chairmen Allan Mullaly is proably the best manager in the American automoible industry but has little experience in automotive product development. And that is where the money is made. It takes a tremondous amount of talent and experience to successfully develop new cars. Gm dosent have a clue on how to do this and must be allowed to go into chapter 11 before its helped. Chrylser has hired some high priced talent but they havent come up with anything new to save the company. I would like to see the little 3 gamble on a young and up incoming executive who has shown some talent and give him chance to run the commpany. The automobile business is a young mans game more than any other business and I believe thats who should be running it.
