Detroit Rumor Control:GM Launches "Facts and Fiction" Web Site

DETROIT — General Motors says it wants to make sure the public gets the full story about the company, its products, and its prospects. That's why GM has launched a new Web site that it calls GM Facts and Fiction.


GM calls the style of the new site "conversational and direct." With headings such as "Myth: The Volt Is Vaporware" and "Myth: GM Can't Compete," the automaker is taking a defensive posture and answering questions that the public may or may not have asked. There's also a "Submit a Myth" feature that invites, "If you've read or heard something about GM, we'd love to know about it so we can have an opportunity to address it.
" The answers, by the way: "We can assure, you, the Volt is for real. On June 3, GM announced that production funding for the Volt had been approved," the site says, offering a link to the dedicated Volt site. And: "GM competes head to head with the best global carmakers in every major market except Japan, which is effectively closed to non-Japanese companies. And we do quite well, thank you."
