It's not hard Chris, Ford selected a new CEO with an immediate history of turning around companies like Boeing, as a result Ford's the quickest mending company. If Gm wants to hire a CEO with an immediate and proven track record for Wagner's salary and that person pulls the same magic we're seeing at ford, by all means, keep the pay scale. But as GM and Chrysler slip further and further into ineptitude there's no excuse for salaries even grater then Toyota or Honda are seeing, GM and Chrysler are being managed extremely poorly, to reward that horrible work ethic with disproportional salaries is a smack in the face of tax payers, just as AIG's high profile parties after the bail out.

GM and Chrysler show no sign of returning to success as ford does, they’re failures, to argue otherwise is to ignore the facts at hand. They need new leadership which reacts quicker to changes, as Ford adroitly selected.

I'm not sure what part people like Rhodes aren't getting. No one is disputing Chrysler or GM didn't have a part in our collective history 30 or 60 years ago. Everyone is asking WHY they've allowed themselves to fail so extensivly and what part they're playing in our history now? The world has changed. Ford is just barely managing to adapt, other automakers are moving more swiftly, yet Chrsyler and GM are so heavly weighed down by nostalgia. Let's focus on the here and now, I've heard enough nostalgia and seen enough of it in their products.

Very nice, I can't wait to buy this.
