7. 通用汽車

????本榜的上榜廠商個個都在業界平均水平以上，能在這張榜單上提升兩名，這個成就不容小覷。不過通用就算只是保住目前的位子，也得不斷努力才行。首先高管層正在為歐寶（Opel）的危機分心，其次一度火熱的中國車市正在降溫，另外一度大肆宣傳的電動汽車雪佛蘭Volt的生存能力依然存疑。2012年通用即將發布的主打產品包括一款新的凱迪拉克（Cadillac）以及雪佛蘭Malibu（即國內版邁銳寶）。2013年通用還會推出新的“搖錢樹”，也就是幾款新的全尺寸皮卡和SUV。通用要想保持住現在的勢頭，這些產品必須都要臻于完美才行。

7. General Motors

????Climbing two places in this field, where every company is above average, is no small achievement, but the new GM will have to keep running just to remain in place. Top management has been distracted by the crisis at Opel, the auto market in once-hot China is cooling, and question marks about its viability still surround the much-publicized Chevrolet Volt. Key launches coming in 2012 include a new Cadillac and the Chevy Malibu, and 2013 brings GM's money machine, the new full-size pickups and SUVs. All will have to be flawless for GM to maintain momentum.
