Dan Akerson.Toyota Prius might be, a geeky looking car, but where was GM's best selling hybrid cars back in 1997 when the Prius hit the market? And the Chevy Volt just hit the market and has only sold less than like 5000 vehicles since 2010? And costing almost $40,000? That geeky car you refer to has a better resale value than the Volt, and has sold well over 1 million cars! Not bad for a geeky car. And about lincoln hmm, didn't GM go begging for gov't money back in '08? Ford didn't, right?

Ok, there needs to be someone else doing reviews of performance European automobiles, instead of craig cole! Last time, he did a review on the Mercedes E63 and it was the worst! And now he's doing the BMW X5M here? Anybody that buys a high performance car, whether it be an suv,sedan, or coupe is not looking to buy it for fuel economy! Hence, the reason for the 6 figure price! And there aren't really any other high performance suvs that can get better fuel economy!

It IS a geek mobile!

GM sent him to harvard to obtain his MBA? Was this during Lutz era? we all know how lutz feels about MBA's!

Can't stan people complaining abou MPG o a BMW M model... Is just retarded.

[RJBbass2000]

@alexscsi my thoughts,exactly! I mean, there's a reason for the M for BMW, performance! And it's a trim level for those that will spend the money to get it!

Not a big fan of domestics but I'd rather drive a Ford than a GM anyday.

[yadigg3784]

@2Kriss2Kross YES i would never get cought drive'n a Chevy.. their quality is not as good as for.. i own a 06 Fusion and the quality in it is better than the current quality in GMs vehicles

[undeadkillers]

Haha! GM back talking when (lets be honest) some of their vehicles are subpar?

[PsychoBurgundy9]

Dan Akerson ALSO wants to increase the gas prices by $1/gallon. He is a fucking piece of shit that cares only about his own personal profit, and he needs to fucking go.

[DocWolph]

GM doesn't suck. It's all "Lt.Dan". Besides isn't he supposed to be a temp CEO? He keeps this up he could be pulled simply for being unpopular in and outside the GM. After all, if the CEO talks smack and ends up embarrassing himself and/or company it will reflect very badly on GM and their still recovering reputation.

@DocWolph I love GM the simply make the best trucks. I wish Lutz or Whitacre would come back. The new guy needs to go.

[teamlaguna]

@Collecian Yes, we all miss Mr. BOB LUTZ !

[DocWolph]

@Collecian Whitacre was definitely a Temp CEO, there to see GM to their IPO. Lutz I think really wants to just be an adviser, however well received that would be. GM needs a newer younger, early 50s at the oldest, CEO who is willing to learn and do, loves making great product (mainly automobiles), and sees making money as a reward for doing so. Akerson is trying to sell himself to the stockholders as a real go-getter, but the more I hear of him the more I want him out.

[TheEnVious17]

I agree GM sucks!!
