Default GM Vs. Ford

From viewing this site for several days, i have made many observations.
Alot ( not all ) LS1 owners think they are gods gift to earth.
Ford just sucks.
And Imports are close to Junk, or that they give little competition.

Ok, not Im not gonna spit off fire or my own opinion, here are the facts.
( Well maybe some of my own opinion

Alot of guys on here feel that Ford and other companies have no answer for the LS1, but in fact, its Vice Versa. GM has no answer for them.

Its a great motor no doubt, but that alone doesn't sell cars. The mustang is one of the main reason's the Fbody line died. Do you actually think FORD gives a **** about the LS1, when they have more than outsold the Fbody?
If I remember correctly, the ratio was almost 3:1.

The new Stangs are flying off the lots. The new Challenger HEMI has one of the best consumer ratings of any prototype EVER, and Toyota ( now one of the leading US Sellers ) is thinking Supra again.

Im sorry to say, but im in college and follow the stocks of GM, and they are not doing well. In fact, they might be shutting down 2 more factories this year.

And after all that, the New Camaro didnt recieve the best support.
If anything, It got more suggested improvements from what people wanted to see, compared to what they liked.

I'll tell you right now, I LOVE MY CAMARO, but Gm is in a hole and they dont have many cards left to play.
They are losing there superstar status as we speak.

In the car business, its all about selling cars, nothing more.
Those guys dont give a **** about speed.

What steps do you guys think GM should take to revamp thier Global Enterprise?
