Wanting to push itself even farther from parent GM, the Automotive Components Group (ACG) Worldwide has a new name: Delphi Automotive Systems. Last year, the components operation became a separate operating sector to help convince customers that it has an arms-length relationship with the automaker. The name change takes the split a step farther. Although many thought the new name would include the prominent moniker, Delco, sources say it was "too GM."
