GM next: Plans for the future

All about design and technology

Tomorrow, GM will celebrate its 100 year Anniversary by focusing on the future. The future, according to CEO Rick Wagoner, is about just two things: design and advanced powertrains.

"We have to do everything good, and there are two things we have to do better than anything else," Wagoner recently was quoted in the Detroit Free Press. "We have to do a great job with design - design in and of itself and design of great brands - and the second thing is advanced propulsion technology and the alternative fuels, because of the way the world's going."

Thus, GM will be holding a number of broadcasts from its GM next website, http://day.gmnext.com, for anyone interested, including a chat session that gives participants a chance to ask Bob Lutz some questions.
