Say what you will but Harley Earl was the genius behind GM for decades. One brilliant design after another. GM has never recovered from his loss. Once in a lifetime genius. With Oldsmobile now gone and looks like Buick is next future of GM remains somewhat clouded. They seriously need someone who loves the car industry and will give the buyers what they want. Not the perceived need through focus groups, which are a waste of time. The only car maker I know of that has remained constant for all it's years is Ferrari. This was due in large part to founder Enzo Ferrari whose unbridaled passion never waned. Sure that have had a few less desireable Ferraris, but the over riding ambition was never compromised and remains to this day. If it carries the prancing horse logo. little else needs saying. For a car company that has only been around since 1947 Ferrari has a most enviable record
Lets face it high end has only been around since 1975 or so. When you think Cadillac started in 1903 out of a defunct Ford Plant, that a pretty good record. I wonder how many high end companies we now have will last a 100 years?
