Its not that GM was behind...its that GM, as was everyone else, were heading into other direction where the cheaper, and more gas-friendly imports were going.
In the 50's and 60s, GM not only was ahead of the curve, they WERE teh curve. Cars like the Tri-Fives, Corvette, Impala, GTO, etc...they all set the pace or created the pace.
Thats what GM needs to do. Not chase after, but make cars that will make cars like the Camry, Accord, etc, seem outdated before they hit the showrooms.
GM will never be as fast as Toyota or Honda, just because of its HUGE size. GM needs to look ahead, and not benchmark cars out now.
