GM's New Cars--Designed Everywhere

Next week at the New York Auto Show, General Motors will unveil three concepts for its new minicar--and will invite customers to vote on which one should actually go into production. What's really interesting: All three concepts were designed in GM's design studio in Incheon, South Korea. GM's new LaCrosse sedan, which is due out by 2009, is being designed largely in GM's center outside Shanghai.
Chinese designers creating a car for America--and for the rest of the world, too. GM has figured out that America doesn't have a lock on design chops. That's why it's pitting its design teams around the world against each other in contests to dream up each new model.

Should we be concerned or embrace this new wave of thinking?
