GM has and will continue to not accept reality...as they advertise and name the G6 to mean a sport luxury car while it's just a rehashed platform with a rehashed engine - over and over and over again people just stop listening to the marketing hype...they then write the truth about it and GM just can't handle it

here is my impression of each companys strategy:

marketing rules GM as they will lie about the true cabilities of decades of rehashed cars - G6 (about as sport sedan as a buick century) and Aztek (the first butt ugly minivan advertised as a rugged SUV)

accounting dept rules Ford (think pinto/explorers as lawsuits are cheaper to pay off than to properly design a safe vehicle)

world domination rules Toyota (at the current rate it will soon happen and we'll all be board with japanese buicks and scions with 20" wheels and their drivers with bad hearing)

geeky engineers rule Honda (some of the stuff they come up with really doesn't make practical sense - but every once in a while they do something incredible that all other mfgrs said could never be done)

cheap hp fanatics rule Nissan (as the same v6 powers minivans, sportscars, trucks, family sedans and luxury sedans)
