I wonder if GM's fortunes would have been better with his innovative approaches? Might they be building a hybrid today? He pushed muscle cars at a time few others saw a market, and brought out the GTO and others. He pushed through the Vega at a time conventional thought said build a cheap-cheap car if it is small. He took a risk on the aluminum engine (a technology now found in our ICE). And of course he played with technology with his namesake sports car.
I can't help but wonder where GM would be today if he had stayed off the coke...
