Talking Big day for women into cars!

GM Taps First Woman as Product Development Chief



General Motors promoted Mary Barra as its new head of product development, the first woman to hold that key position at a major automaker.

Barra, 49, will oversee 36,000 engineers, designers and other staff at GM locations around the globe. She comes to the job with an engineering background, having served as vice president of GM's global manufacturing engineering in the past, as well as having experience as a plant manager and in internal communications at the company. She most recently served as vice president of human resources at GM.
woooo hooo! That's awesome! Here's the rest of the story!

"I said, get over here, I want to develop your `Product"


Hi `Brittany, Why is she dressed like a man

Are you sure she's a women

Has anyone checked ? LOL

Why is she leaning on the car ? Is it holding her `up.
I don't like it when people rest on nice cars or put
finger prints all over them or scratch them with
their belt buckles.... or put's a dent in the
passenger side front fender
I hope she does not make Pink GM Products LOL
Lady dispensers in cars Oh `No LOL
I wonder what she will develop ?
We wish her luck, maybe she will develop a 2012 Pink
Monte Carlo G.G..
`Britt, thanks 4 posting/sharing...this was `fun : )
p.s., I don't care if it's a women/man or alien that gets the `job,(as long as
they can do the `job).
I just hope they build another SuperSuper Monte Carlo

4-Sure

I would have guessed the Head of Product Development at Toyota was a woman. Must just be a homosexual male. Not that there's anything wrong with that


... lady dispensers in cars... now that's funny!

You guys are all gonna suffer Brittany's wrath. You're all toast.

Brent, I imagined the Toyota Prius engineers to be tree huggers.

Well, good luck to Mary. Maybe she'll come up with something good. Like a combination drink and popcorn holder.
