CEO Scott Griffith says ZipCar has not received a single request for a GM or Chrysler vehicle
ZipCar’s CEO, Scott Griffith was recently interviewed on a Squawk segment on CNBC. He was describing the nature of the car-sharing business and how it works. The business model is very interesting, allowing people to share vehicles by the day or even hour, instead of buying a vehicle.
Unfortunately, Griffith then goes on to state some very interesting “facts.” According to Griffith: “We are not buying GM or Chrysler cars; in fact we have never bought a GM or Chrysler product.”
That has got to be the biggest load of bull-crap that I have heard in a long time! Granted, there is no way of me knowing what kind of requests they get, that is extremely hard to believe because Griffith states that they have all sorts of vehicles in their fleet, including trucks and SUVs! Is he honestly going to tell everyone that when someone requests a truck or an SUV it’s a Toyota or Honda? Yes, he does mention they get requests for Ford vehicles, but as far as I know, GM still sells over half a million trucks every year. That means that they are POPULAR!
Of course there’s no one there to correct this fool. Griffith, I hope you get a chance to read this; I’d love to have a chat with you. You’re full of crap!
Peace,
Alex
