Chatting with GM exec at 6 p.m.

I'm taking part in an online chat with GM's VP of global products (that's pretty high up the food chain). If you have questions about GM's future products like the Volt this would be an opportune time to ask them.

Pretty interesting conversation. Did you get a question to go through? Which blog do you follow? I'm always on autoblog. (by the way, I work at GM)

I'm actually an editor at Cars.com so was taking part.

I was a bit perturbed with the slowness of everything and would like more honest conversations about stuff like this. Driven a Camaro yet? One of my coworkers was mighty impressed.

No unfortunately not! I've seen a bunch of fleet cars in our parking lots (managers and up get a vehicle to drive). Unfortunately, I am a mere bean counter so I don't get a chance to drive our cars very often and I don't think any managers have gotten camaros, I think people who are either high up or some sort of engineer/developer are getting them at this point.

Oh actually, one of my neighbors has one in his driveway, too bad I don't know him =/

Oh no you're a dreaded bean counter!
I hope you don't read GM fanboy message boards

They should let you guys drive more cars!

Lesbelges

yeah I wish they let us drive cars more often. But as you know, that costs money, something we don't have!

As for GM fan boy forums. No way. I get all my car news from autoblog
