FEBRUARY 6, 2019. GM. Was it ever sexy? Maybe–but who was there to notice? GM’s phallic palace tower in downtown Detroit was sexy once so they say. Women now run that symbol of masculine dominance. Things change. GM itself perhaps? Tesla’s sexy right–it’s electric for God’s sake. Elon Musk wasn’t even born yet when General Motors was great and firing on all cylinders. But wait.
In fact old dogs do learn new tricks, and design new trucks. That’s good, but not electric. Yet, in a truck and crossover world GM isn’t an old dog. Nor is CEO Mary Barra.
Trucks are not tricks and neither are corporate turnarounds. Like we said, things do change, under great leadership. Think Belichick. And GM’s CEO and CFO look like the dynamic duo of change. Does a 20% share price move count? That was 20% in one month. Is that also dynamic?
