GM. Ford, Chrysler and oil price increases in 2007-2008 and 2011-2012
06/02/2006
High oil prices in 2008 and again in 2011. The danger this poses for the Detroit automakers as they continue to depend on SUV's and larger vehicles for revenues and profits. Even with the big strides in making small cars, a Chevy Cruze or a Ford Fiesta is still not as popular as a Honda Civic or a Toyota Prius, says one analyst.

Changes in public perception of Detroit auto companies and fuel efficiency in the 2006- 2008 period.
02/28/2006
Public perception changed in this period. Columnists like Friedman said in the NYT that "GM is more dangerous to America's future" and acting like a "crack dealer." This as GM was offering buyers of large low fuel efficiency vehicles gas capped at $1/99 per gallon. Ford offered free gas upto $1000 with aprepaid Master charge debit card, enough for 6000 miles. Were the automakers lagging behind changing conditions and not adapting to changing public perception, by fighting higher fuel efficiency standards in Congress. link to Hyundai where its technology executive says Hyundai can meet higher standards with new technology and not even counting hybrids in the picture.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
