G.M. really ignoring the HHR
#12
The HHR is being advertised in Canada but in the newspaper by the dealer with incentives. 3400 dollars off for cash, 1000 dollar Chevrolet loyality discount for another Chev in the driveway, up to 1500 dollar discount from GM-TD Visa Card earnings, discount for GM employee and family members, a government environmental rebate for a manual transmission. My 09 came at half price.

More....when I worked for GM (retired) they were making so much money back in the 80's & 90's and spending at the same time like drunken sailors, I always said if we ever go broke it would take 10 years to find out! I guess we finally found out. I remember the hierarchy being embarrassed to announce quarterly earnings. Flash forward to the 2000nds......GM in Oshawa just funded a 50 million dollar research center to a local university ......wind tunnel and the whole bit. Go figure..

The truth is no one is worth that kind of money but the big lie is that pay was the whole problem. It was only one small part.
You can not put this all on managment or Labor. They both share in the blaime along with many other factors. It was just the perfect mess.
GM had too many models, managers, plants, workers, vendors and too much of many other things.
The one thing they did not have enough of was buyers.
