    This sort of one-size-fits-all, blandness in product planning is doomed.
  2. Camino LS6
    I entirely disagree with that approach, it will fail miserably.
  3. Camino LS6
    There's that failure mentality again. The surrender monkey syndrome at work.

    Another thing that annoys me about all of this is the criticism of Pontiac as a NorthAmerican-only brand. I'd market that as a strength, not a weakness! I like the idea of a GM brand that is exclusive to the market I live in. It is a serious potential appeal that GM has been ignoring.

    With what gain? Offending your customers on several continents and maximizing overlap? Buick is way too close to Caddy for that to make any sense at all. The way I laid it out, it is a world product with no overlap. Care to place a bet on which plan makes more profit?

    Again. BTW: The Vega was around before '74, but I get your meaning. Makes me think of the awful X-cars more than the Vega anyway.
  7. Camino LS6
    Very telling.

    I have some words for the proposed all FWD, all small sedan idea for Pontiac's future: Redundancy Sabotage Incompetence Malpractice Myopia

    :rotflmao: Now why didn't i see that one coming?

    BFD, he helped a little girl (guilt?) I can find my own way home.

    So let Caddy have a bling version here and in Europe, with a Buick version in China. Problem solved. EDIT: and a Torana for Holden, a Vauxhall for the Brits, and a Chevy for the Middle East.
  12. Camino LS6
    Exactly!

    Here is where we agree! Pontiac was 'supposed" to be moving toward a niche identity with a focus on performance and less volume. I was fine with that plan. But now the "wizards" at GME are attempting to turn it into a Daewoo clone - which is suicidal and stupid. As for Saturn, GM has little choice but to try to make it work at this point. Some of the products are good, but the focus not so much. I love the Sky, but it never should have existed at Saturn.

    That explains so much...

    An apt comparison. After all, wasn't the Wizard of Oz eventually exposed as a fraud and a fool? :AH-HA_wink:

    Again way off, check the difference in market share between Pontiac and Saturn. And as for efficiency, it need not be boring (or tiny). Cars already on the market prove that. An all small FWD lineup at Pontiac would be entirely redundant within the GM universe - something I thought we all agreed needed to be avoided. Isn't Pontiac GM's strongest selling brand in Canada? As for me - no tiny cars ever, no matter the cost of fuel.

    Except for me there is no sign of a consolation prize.
  19. Camino LS6
    So much for Opel's triumphant return to the US market.
  20. Camino LS6
    The sad part is that, in the end, it will be remembered as what GM did to itself.
  21. Camino LS6
    Orders a semi-load of crow for GXT. :AH-HA_wink:
  22. Camino LS6
    Slowly folding Saturn into Buick might make sense, but pitting Saturn against Pontiac is pointless. They are like apples and oranges and should be even moreso in the future. Going generic FWD with Pontiac is pure foolishness. Killing the brand is equally foolish.
  23. Camino LS6
    And there must be a Pontiac, a Chevy, a Saturn, etc. or GM is doomed. It's define the brands or die.
  24. Camino LS6

    It is the same sort of "failure mentality" that created Saturn in the first place. If followed, the results will be the same.
