From Motley Fool: On average, GM lost $1,227 for every vehicle it has sold this year — nearly 10 times the $139 per-car loss incurred by U.S. rival Ford. In contrast, American-German hybrid DaimlerChrysler earned $186 per vehicle sold. A report just out from Harbour Consulting, a management consulting firm, shows that over the first six months of 2005, General Motors posted the worst profit numbers of any of the automaking "Big Six." Good news is that the same marketing folks who destroyed the Hummer brand have designed a cute yellow laptop computer to spur the sale of the new cute Hummer H3. As I wrote in a previous post do not hire any GM marketers. Make them stay and clean up the mess they created.
