DEARBORN: Obama, analysts call GM's next round of budget cuts "innovative", "forward-thinking".



In a surprise move being hailed by analysts and the government as "forward thinking" and "good for America", General Motors has started to offer new "budget" versions of its higher-end models and has made often-standard equipment into "option packages"

One newly-optional piece of equipment on the higly-touted Camaro? Wheels.

"We realized that, with halo cars like the Camaro, people weren't buying the cars to drive. They were buying them purely as status symbols. This led us, naturally, to design a new camaro package that would give owners all the joy and one-upmanship of Camaro ownership with an absolute minimum of unnecessary expense," GM execs stated during a press conference today.

"The new GM is all about offering good, old-fashioned, quality product to the masses, without all of the whiz-bang accoutrements americans have gotten fat and lazy on. It's about creating an american automotive industry that is less focused on what americans want to drive, and more focused on what I say they should want to drive," President/GM CEO Barack Obama said, when asked about the new strategy.

"We are examining each model on a case-by-case basis and making difficult, but necessary decisions about what should stay and what should go. We used this same strategy when deciding which brands to deactivate or sell off, and we feel that this same focused strategy will lead us quickly to a more focused, market-centric brand modeling structure that will help us to recentralize our global perspective and deprioritize our unnecessary expenditures," GM stated in materials presented during the press conference.

The GM executives continued to explain that the models that would be most affected by the new product strategy would be the ones that were considered "focused towards customer interest" and "generally entertaining to drive in any aspect beyond basic transportation". One option designed to meet stricter emission standards that is being strongly considered for most performance models is a 1980s era walkman with a tape of the car chase from the film "Bullit" in place of any sort of engine.

The President's innovative Wheel-Sharing Program will reduce the number of miles driven by those vehicles unable to meet the new CAFE standards." Does anyone remember President Carter's innovative even-/odd-day gas lines?
