Tell Fritz
Have you guys checked out GM's Tell Fritz?
http://www.gmreinvention.com/index.php/site/tell-fritz/
The responses appear to genuinely be from Fritz. I liked this one:
Awesome!

I will not buy a GM car when it is owned by our US Gov or the union. My days of Am. cars only are past, It is either a Ford or Foreign. I pity you for being so stupid.
Here's my response:
do not need your pity thank you very much.

Wow, that sounds much more like a Bob Lutz response.
I would imagine the Fritz response to be FAR more measured and diplomatic, something like

I understand and respect your current position on our company. Rest assured that General Motors has every intention of re-paying the American Taxpayer the loans that we received as quickly as possible, and will continue to build the high quality cars and trucks you have come to expect from GM. We appreciate your past business and will do everything we can to earn your business back.

I couldn't do something like he's doing.
All you have to do is read statements from assclowns like this:
Fritz's response was:
There isn't a soul on this site... especially me.... who would have answered so diplomatically.
There are a few good questions & comments, and alot of education Fritz is giving out (one guy wanted the Camaro convertible to be made at Bowling Green & Fritz explained why it couldn't be). But it seems like every 3rd or 4th question is a bashfest.
The 255 space limit keeps questioning to the point (I know I had top modify my question for nearly 10 minutes), and Fritz is Calvin Coolidge-ish in his answers (amazingly short, but informative).
It seems he's actually answering the ones chosen and posted, so I feel anyone that has something to say that lowers the bashfest content and makes things a bit more constructive should post.

You will never get a penny from me, you tax sucking parasite. If I want an American-made car, I’ll buy it from a COMPETENT organization like Toyota. Do the whole country a favor and jump off a bridge, you useless son of a bitch.
unfortunate choice of words and I will choose to ignore your suggestion.

Here's my response:
the vibe was a fine vehicle, but in the end we simply do not have the resources to develop products and promote 8 brands, with pontiac one of the brands we needed to discontinue. I encourage you to take a look at our new chevrolet equinox if you have a chance.

Although I haven't asked him, I don't see anything in that answer that makes me think otherwise.
Bob Lutz has on more than one occasion absolutely stunned me with the speed he answered e-mails I sent, and I have no doubt he writes himself on his GM blog.
If it were Wagoner, I'd say not likely. But Fritz? I'd say it's more than very plausible.

I'm impressed that he's communicating with the public completely unfiltered. I see spelling and grammar errors that make it very clear that he's just writing responses and posting them directly, without running them by anyone beforehand. Great move! More companies should be so transparent.
