What If Steve Jobs Ran One of the Big 3?

The columnist points out: Always referencing German cars, whether it was the design aesthetic of his Mercedes sedan or Porsche's success at selling high-margin cars as entertainment devices, Jobs could always point to farfegnugen as a way to sell a good car for a great price. So since he thinks about these things anyway, and because the U.S. automobile industry is on the skids and begging for help this week, I find myself wondering what would happen if Steve Jobs were put in charge of any of the Big Three car companies?

I really, really like this article. We are all wondering what’s up with the auto bail-out, whether it was the right move and how it got so messed up and who did it and what the hell are they going to do now? We also know that the people making the decisions right now are not the best ones to be in the position to do so. Steve Jobs is certainly never going to be signed on for this job, but whoever is would do well to read this article and think in terms of bold, smarts moves as laid out here by Cringely. Regardless, we are on the verge of an auto industry makeover, which is among the highest influences on human society, so it was great just to read an article that could kinda go there and unpack some of the major issues.
