GREGORY: Do you expect and would you like to see President Obama encourage the country to buy American cars?
HENDERSON: No, actually. I — I think the consumer should buy exactly what kind of car they think meets their needs and that excites them. And as I look at it, it’s our job to make sure we provide that, not necessarily have it mandated or otherwise encouraged. I think we have fantastic cars and trucks. We’re going to win in the marketplace and not necessarily because — just because we’re a U.S. company.

I am amazed that there are so few comments on TTAC regarding the “Meet the Press” interview of Fritz Henderson. My money says he is not qualified to be CEO of anything, and heaven help GM. For a man “on the job” for 25 years all he seems to have mastered is corporate doublespeak, non-answers, and rehearsed, but empty, words. He came across as a pre-programmed bot, whose best “skill” was in not answering the questions. Too bad David Gregory let him get away with his not so transparent evasions. Henderson is about as uninspiring a CEO as I have ever seen….sadly. RF – you should weigh in on that interview. Surprised you haven’t.
> It now has 44,300 miles and has litterally never saw the inside of a shop yet. Let's compare your 2006 Impala with a 2006 Accord after they both rack up 144,300 miles of service. One will be worn out and falling apart. The other will not.
