…For 2007, what can we do better?
As 2006 nears its end, I want to thank all of you who have engaged in FastLane and FYI conversations. Clearly, Bob Lutz is everyone’s favorite GM blogger. We get the most comments when he posts his thoughts. We love reading your lively, passionate, and thoughtful remarks, and we’re listening to what you have to say.

After a recent dinner meeting with some GM retirees, a couple of my young and hip colleagues exclaimed with bright smiling faces — almost in disbelief — that they had no idea what a blast our retirees are. I threw my hands up in the air and said “I know! I know!” Instead of rushing home that night, we lingered and shared the stories, GM history and facts we had eagerly learned from our GM alumni that evening.
I fear my colleagues are not alone in not knowing our retirees. So, let me introduce you to our very own slice of Americana.

For many Camaro fans, Christmas came early when they first heard the announcement that the new Camaro was a go. For all who say, “I wish I could have one now!” your dream can come true. Now, lovers of car collectibles and automotive-related toys can purchase a shiny new Camaro concept scale model from Jada Toys. It’s one of the hottest selling vehicles finding its way under Christmas trees this year.

The following article by Mark Phelan, auto critic with the Detroit Free Press, appeared on the newspaper’s front page Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2006. Because it deals with the recent film that we believe mischaracterized GM and its investment in the EV1 electric car, we thought we’d share it with you. (Reprinted with permission.)

“Who Killed the Electric Car?” caused a furor when it was released this year. The movie hammers away at GM and its EV1 electric car. (Sony Classic Pictures)
It’s the kind of thing you hear over dinner every week in Detroit, but it comes as a surprise when a top executive with Toyota leans across the table to make the point.
Take a look at FastLane for an update on Peter Gilbert, a Saab owner who recently celbrated 1 million miles with his vehicle.
