Most of the people inside GM are not car guys. They are professional managers and career politicians interested in advancing through the ranks and expanding their sphere of influence. The fact that we are (were) designing and building cars was secondary to the fact that they were working in a major corporation and making big bucks.
That's why when you find a Mac McKellar or a John Delorean they stand out so much.
When I went to GMI (General Motors Institute - GM's own college for engineers and managers) in a school of about 2000 kids I recall there were about 15 of us in the official car club.
