Trouble in GM paradise...

Al, did Fritz consult you before arriving at this decision? ;):mrgreen:

Damn. I thought Fritz wouldn't last long, but I figured he be there at least a year. Wonder what went down.

Actually, I'd love to see a GM enthusiast like Al running that miserable company. So long Fritz, you suck.

You can look at it two ways.
1) He was a GM lifer, and with that attitude he wont be able to break out of the GM mentality.
2) He was a much harder driven guy then Rick was. He was much more agressive on dealing with the matters at hand.

The Admin of GMI, Nick, was hanging with Caddy and Chevy Exec's in LA when the call was made today, and they were very shocked by it.

In other news...thats what you get when you cross the Might Lutz.
No G8 you say, eh? GOEFYOURSELF

From Fritz's daughter Via Facebook

HE ****ING GOT ASKED TO STEP DOWN ALL OF YOU ****ING IDIOTS. IM FRITZ'S ****ING DAUGHTER, AND HE DID NOT ****ING RESIGN. WHITACRE IS A SELFISH PIECE OF SHIFT, WHO CARES ABOUT HIMSELF AND NOT THE ****ING COMPANY. HAVE FUN WITH GM, I HOPE TO NEVER BUY FROM THIS GOD FORESAKEN COMPANY EVERY AGAIN. **** ALL OF YOU."

LOL....someone is a little bit upset, huh?

I just read that too...someone is a wee bit pissed lol

well you gotta admire his daughter's passion :rofl:

In the end, no one expected him to last that long. Might have lasted till the IPO next year, but I think he rubbed Ed the wrong way on a lot of things. #1 is the Saab deal, #2 RWD sedans for GM NA/head to head with Lutz, and a 2% drop in sales this month.

is his daughter hot?

Something strange is going on with GM. I was seriously looking to buy a new car at the end of Aug and have money on my GM card to use. With the end of model year discounts, the tax credit and my GM card money I found what I wanted and contacted a couple of dealers to locate the car for me at my price. All they did was find cars marked up a couple grand more than a realistic number. When the dealer lets you get up and walk out and never contacts you again and they know you were looking to put $10K down on the new car, that tells me they are not really trying to sell cars right now. I think they are trying to mess up the numbers for some reason. I didn't think there was any way he was stepping down. What a freakin mess!

this is the real matter at hand hahahah.... who appoints these guys anyway... who appointed whiteacre in there?? just curious

I believe The Messiah did...Al would know better though, he follows it a lot more than I do.

Yes, Whit was appointed by the federal auto commission....don't remember the formal name. He was a big shot at AT&T for years, and is one of the "industry outsiders" that they wanted to bring in for a fresh take.

- Justin

Ahhh yeah, OK, it is who I thought it was. He's the same guy that thumbed his nose at the law when Bush and his boys told him wire tap AT&T customers.

dunno. sounds feisty though. this thread needs redirection onto this topic.

Some of you guys need to get laid...repeatedly.

Cute

I do... any suggestions?

very nice. looks pretty bitchy though.

A chick over 21yrs old + glass of wine or a drink of some sort + ruffee=teh score. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Sounds like a classy gal. I'm sure she'll enjoy someday dipping into her trust fund that came from Daddy's plush jobs with GM.

50.00 in Ac will get the same results

Good way to lose daddy's severance - these guys have contracts that say they 'retired' or such.

Now there is a news flash!!!!! :lol:

Realize that GM has no relation to your dealer outside that the dealer sells GM cars. Its a shame that GM cannot have more control of it.
I had a quazi ****** experiance at my dealer, and I still walked away uneasy after fighting for 3 days.
I really really really wish I worked at a dealer part time so that I could try and help good, honest, hard working people. But I probably wouldnt last long.

Big Ed is from AT&T, and did help break up a lot of the union's in AT&T. He was piced by the ATF, not Obama...jesus you guys cant give this dude a ****in break, can you?
They wanted him for his outside opinion, and for his work in the past.
As for a new CEO, I dont know if they are gunna get anyone worth much. Mullaly came out from Boeing for a LOT more money then GM can spend.
And whats his face...Mr.Home Depot, ran HD and then Chrylser into a wall with poor product. Even the mighty Jim Press-son, the highest ranking American in Toyota could do nothing for them.

Ed will move foward with a lot of back-burner programs, and I think he really likes Lutz and he will have free reign over the land of GM. This could be very good.
