[net.rumor] GM/Hughes Announcement

cem@intelca.UUCP (Chuck McManis) (06/07/85)

"After a recent press conference announcing the purchase of Hughes Aircraft
company by General Motors speculation was rampant about what the first 
commercial product would be produced by this joint effort. Sources close
to the R&D staff of both companies said that GM was trying to get the
new generation of professionals, or yuppies, as they are sometimes called
into the larger, more stately, american cars. In an effort provide a 
car that was technically appealing as well as practical these sources
indicated that GM would provide a "stealth" option on its '87 model of 
the Caddillac Seville. This thought to be an ideal way to cut down on the 
unneccessary expense and inherent unreliability of radar detectors used 
in cars today.  Neither GM or Hughes officals could be reached to confirm 
or deny this rumor."
