Day Two Blitz: Product Assault Complete

So we’re home from the auto show. Lots to think about in tangible terms, like the green car coup and the electric car rage, and in the intangibles — all the conversations, speculations, reflections and rallying cries. We need an evening to digest this deluge of information.

Fuel for thought: I did run into Chevrolet General Manager Ed Peper — probably one of the most congenial, decent people in the car biz. While he’s positive most of the time as one would expect of a high-ranking exec, Mr. Peper has a manner that makes you believe him. “We’re going to make it,” he told me. “It’s not going to be easy, but our product speaks for itself. We have more vehicles that get over 30 mpg than any other OEM.” I hope he’s right. Detroit is counting on it.
