It sounds like someone went on a wilderness excursion for 2 weeks and wrote down every word that came to their head and said, hey, lets make a car and name it this! it’ll be sooo revolutionary, nobody would know what hittem.
Same turd, different diaper. If they would’ve stuck with the old names, Impala and Malibu…well, they are the same thing so they dont count, Monte Carlo is a cool car…develope a solid base group, they would have been fine. They got too big for their own good, their own brands started competing with eachother, that’s not a monopoly, thats not supply/demand, that’s a death wish, that’s flooding the market with so much shit and hope confused consumers will bite on it. And now the reapers here to collect and they aint got a damn penny. Shame on them.
And a wonderful smoke break argument to get away from the marketing side of things, in another aspect…all these foreign governments pump money into their auto industries, build the factories, direct their auto manufacturers what types of vehicles to build, their workers either don;t have to pay for health insurance or it’s provided to them by their socialist governments. That doesnt cost the corporations a dime. GM can’t compete with that. The rules aren;t the same.
