Finally!! Someone with ***** enough to say what he feels. In this PC world we live in now everyone is told play nice, you can't say this or that and everyone gets a trophy for participating. What a bunch of crap.
Jim Farley is just heating up a good old fashioned rivalry and "keepin it real". Good for him.

HMMM...
I don't think it shows a lack of class, it's along the lines of tact in my opinion. Should he lose his job? Hell no! It's good to see the fire in ones' passion. Nor would an apology be warranted. If GM was SOOO offended by a statement, they should nut up or shut up.

Very imature for a top Exec. to say. There are much more subtler ways to say the same thing. Oh idk, like out selling GM, offer 100k 7yr warranty btb, stuff like that. As far as hating GM, I think that's a good thing because competition is good for every body. Is he saying he's feeling the heat???

There's a difference between passion and avoidable public crudeness.
Political correctness would ultimately remove all emotion from all communication. That's different from either of the above.
