Who would your "Car Czar Dream Team" be?

My "Czar Dream Team" would consist of:

John Arnold; 34 yr. old self-made Billionaire who runs hedge fund Centaurus Energy. He knows how to make money.

L. John Doerr; He runs one of the top investment firms in the country & has one of the most stellar track records. (Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers) He's the money guy behind game-changing deals such as Google, Amazon, Intuit and Sun Microsystems.

Steve Jobs. Marketing mastermind. No elaborate description needed; he can create buzz around a bag of a crap.

Oprah. Midas touch. Women control up to 90% of the veto power when it comes to buying a car. She can appeal to them and get them back into the market and make them feel better about their buying decisions.

Me. (This is a dream team. And its my dream.)

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I will start with who it _shouldn't_ be. Any of the current "experts" running, or highly placed in any of the car companies in the US. Don't forget that this position is much more than buzz, the person needs to know how to create a stable footing, and confidence that the companies will succeed in the long run.

Warren Buffet is a thought, he's close to retirement, so the inclination to make it a long term job isn't there. He knows how to invest in good businesses for the long term.

Remember that the Car Czar would just be the leader of a larger team, it's less about knowing the answers than knowing who will make a good team, and how to make the team play nice with each other, then distilling the inputs down to a plan.

my dream would be for the federal government to get out of the way of private industry.

if the big car manufacturers need to go bankrupt, that means they let all their workers go, and sell all their factories at a loss. guess what happens then? the new car companies will buy the factories, hire the workers and start making cars again.

no "big brother" in DC to watch over anything. no soviet style 5 year plan.

The whole notion of a "Car Czar" is really scary. Government has it's fingers in too many things today. The LAST thing we need to do is expand government more! We need to fight for *limited* government - not expand it.
