Shareholders No Longer Riding Shotgun, Say American Automakers

This week, General Motors CEO Mary Barra and Ford CEO Jim Hackett were among 181 corporate executives claiming their companies need to do more than just deliver value to shareholders.

TheMrFreeze The wife unit and I refuse to buy a white/black/grey/silver car...life's too short for boring. As it happens we both drive orange cars right now but slightly different shades. Total coincidence, just happened that the used cars we found that met our requirements (ie: manual trans and at least some amount of character) both happened to be orange. My previous daily driver was orange as well, again total coincidence...they just seem to find us I guess...
