	Report: GM ending popular employee pricing offer Aug 1. - Jul. 27, 2005
		GM's strong sales in June and so far in July have left it with depleted inventories of the 2005 models that the offer applied to, according to company officials earlier this month, so the move is not a total surprise.
		GM has been signaling plans to move to lower sticker prices rather than setting sticker prices high and using cash-back and other incentives to lure customers into dealer showrooms.
		GM officials estimate that customers were paying $300 to $400 less per vehicle with the employee pricing offer than they would have paid with earlier incentive programs.

	Public Opinion Strategies
		Washington, DC - Americans' attitudes about genetically modified (GM) foods remain divided, although their opinions appear not be deeply held and can be influenced by new information and events, according to a new analysis released today by the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology.
		In 2004, 30% of consumers said that GM foods are "basically safe" (up from 29% in 2001 and 27% in 2003), while 27% say that they are "basically unsafe" (up from 25% in both 2001 and 2003).
		Consumers' attitudes about the safety of GM improve significantly when informed that they are already consuming foods developed through biotechnology, indicating that attitudes remain open to change in the light of new information.

	Motor Authority » GM looks to Daewoo for small car platforms
		GM should be ashamed for not having a proper small car strategy in place, something that almost every other car maker is doing on its own.
		GM has experimented with the Australian market, where its subsidiary Holden has replaced most of its fleet with Korean built cars that lag their European counterparts in terms of quality and safety.
		GM Group sales in the minicar segment are expected to grow to 400,000 units annually and are likely to spur on the other manufacturers to develop smaller vehicles to enter the burgeoning segment.
