General Motors chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner said his company will fight to keep its position as the world’s top automaker. “I like being number one, and I think our people take pride in it. So it’s not something we’re going to sit back and let somebody else pass us,” Wagoner told reporters on Friday.
“We’re going to have to fight for every sale and do it in way that is consistent with building the enterprise,” he said.
“If as a result of that we get passed, it won’t be a happy day for me. But I’ve lost basketball games before, and as a result of that you get ready, you learn and go back and play the next day,” said Wagoner who played college basketball in the early 1970s.
“We’re going to fight to keep the position, and if we lose, we’re going to fight to get it back.”
