US car giant General Motors (GM) has named product development chief Mary Barra to the post of chief executive.
She will replace Daniel Akerson, and be the first woman to run a US carmaker.
Ms Barra joined GM as an electrical engineering student in 1980 and has worked her way up to lead GM's global product development.
The product development job is considered a critical role at a carmaker and Ms Barra received praise for her leadership of GM's unit.
Under her leadership, GM rolled out new pick-up trucks and the Chevrolet Impala, which was highly rated by Consumer Reports magazine.

Good for her. Hope she does better than the lady who took over HP a few years ago. and I'm not knocking the HP lady because she's female, just that she did a terrible job, as many men exec's also have

I like the paint job on the car behind that high heel trike.

Heated seats as standard equipment on all models.

I will never understand the appeal of freezing cold leather seats!

I like my leather seats, (with heaters of course). Easy to clean and after 11 years, no rips or worn spots. Of course they are a little warm and sticky in the summer.
