A representative for IRN, Inc., a consulting firm based in Grand Rapids, Mich., told media that General Motors is the best customer of the Detroit Big Three for North American suppliers because they feel that the automaker has the most stability and the most potential of the three manufacturers thanks to its upcoming Lambda platform and strong overseas sales.
Supplier success rests almost entirely on manufacturer success; if the manufacturer fails, the supplier has no business. According to Automotive News, suppliers have the most faith in GM’s future plans and stability, particularly its new Lambda platform, which underpins the GMC Acadia , Buick Enclave and Saturn Outlook. Ford is seen as the worst automaker for suppliers to work with because of their limited product portfolio and decreasing market share.
