I agree with Mr. Leonard in most of his article. At the end of it however he speaks of two car companies and their respective markets. This particular saga occurred in past times and perhaps Mr. Leonard is not as old as I in remembering a car company that built s small vehicle that got reletively decent gas milage (for the year of the car) and that company went out of business because they did not provide what the American public wanted to purchase. Anyone else remember the "Rambler". Good luck selling this analogy to someone that has already seen the demise of good cars because they did not meet the needs of the times. Perhaps that is the way GM goes, but there you have the world market at it's best. We taught the rest of the world everything we know and they can do it cheaper.
