I'd argue GM finally has a CEO that has the balls to cut deadweight brands like Opel and Holden. Just keep losing money to save-face? That sounds smart
GMs US market share peaked around 50% in the late 1950s and was down to about 17% in 2015 when she took over. Every single one of her male predecessors in the last 50+ years were
complete failures in maintaining market share. Almost totally clueless to the changing marketplace that left GM in the dust by the Asian brands.
Not to mention the endless stream of pure garbage products her male counterparts rubber-stamped from the early 1970s, until well into the early 2000s that led them straight into bankruptcy. Superb management.
Only true business warriors give the green light to such engineering and design marvels as the Chevy Vega, Chevy Citation, Cadillac Cimarron, Oldsmobile Cutlass Sierra, Buick Century, Pontiac Aztec, etc, etc, etc. you could go on for days.
The premise that GM (of all companies) was doing just great until a woman came along, is laughable, at best.
