Ford Exec F bombs GM.

[BlackICE]

F---- GM,” Farley tells the books’ author, Bill Vlasic. “I hate them and their company and what they stand for. And I hate the way they're succeeding. Ford is back because people trust us. And that is a powerful message. I'm a car guy. I wake up each morning thinking about cars. Watch out. We're only going to get better."

I used to "F" bomb the competition all the time, but never in the media.

With the bailout and all, I understand the sentiments.

Hope he has even more vigor deep inside when it comes to beating the Japanese and Korean makes over the head with a bat.

Social media soundbite or passion? I wouldn't discount either of them.

And on topic, if your primary metric is profitable growth in marketshare (and I assume that Jim's is..) then GM's approach is toxic longer term, to the industry as well as GM, not to mention Farley/Ford's objectives. That's kinda' how we got in trouble, overproduction and incentives. Wake up, Ackerson!

Politcally correct Execs are dinasaurs...this guy is calling out the Group Think BS in vast majority of Boardrooms

He should run for U. S. President and tell the Senators to STF up and get to work
