After working for General Motors for 13 months leading Cadillac, Hummer, and Saab, McNabb announced his resignation last week (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/21/report-cadillac-hummer-saab-chief-mark-mcnabb-resigns-after-jus/) as of June 1. His destination, it turns out, is Maserati, where he'll replace former North American CEO Marti Eulberg (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/22/report-maseratis-north-american-ceo-steps-down-after-less-than/), Who resigned last month after less than a year on the job.
At GM, McNabb ended up shepherding one of his brands and trying to sell the other two. At Maserati he'll have just one brand to lead and he'll be focused on selling its cars. Maserati sales have done their impression of a sinkhole, falling 48% worldwide and nearly 58% in America, taking revenue numbers with them. We find those numbers a little surprising, but perhaps the coming GranTurismo convertible (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/Granturismoconvertible/) will help things out. In the mean time, best of luck to you, Mr. McNabb.
