Collision GM, Toyota, Volkswagen and the race to own the 21st century

Tale. In the last two years, vast changes have occurred in the leadership of these three companies, accompanied by intrigue, crises, and fundamental arguments over a vision of the future.

Volkswagen's ouster of the legendary Carl Hahn and stunning hiring of GM wizard Inaki Lopez showed that the company had finally acknowledged its severe problems, but those difficulties are so ingrained in the German social structure that."@en
