Even the great iPhone introduced in 2005 was not an innovation by any yard stick - it was the creative side of a human being that combined that was already existing to come up with a product people could relate to. If ever there needed a evaluation of vehicles should be like self driving cars, Volt, Tesla etc which are innovations.
GM needn't evaluate any darn thing if it keeps it product portfolio simple and tame is engineering managers. Why have a Sierra, Avalanche, Silverado, Escalade (luxury version of a truck, only moronnns need a luxury version of a truck), same with SUVs, there is no end of the same cheap brain numbing product portfolio. The first good thing they did (well coming out of a bailout with conditions) is to reduce their useless branding, they need to do the same for their product, slim it down.
My 2c.
Sour grapes.
Original iPhone was released in 2007, BTW.
