Tom Brown of Reuters tells of a dismal outlook for the Big Three this year right on the eve of their big coming out
party in Detroit. Brown writes of all the financial troubles but also says “New models from the Big Three are unlikely
to generate as much excitement as in previous years, however. To some, barring major surprises, it may even seem like
the Motor City is running on empty.” Everything I’ve seen and read has me believing most folks think this is the most
adventurous slot of new vehicles in a while. This year’s Detroit show certainly is one of the most hyped I can remember
in recent years. While Brown’s arguments about health care costs etc. might be valid, the new product comment I think
is way off. Everyone here is on fire about the Saturn products and the Dodge Charger will sell well. I even have very
high hopes for the Ford Fusion. No, there’s no Mustang this year but there are lots of solid products that should
attract attention from real car buyers.
