“its called online forums. much like the one we’re currently on actually”
You think the number of people who post in forums that oh so common “build it now!” and “Do it GM!” and “If they build it, I will sell my X and buy it” are legitment sources to gauge interest in the production worthness of a vehicle? And you know them all personally? Seriously?
What you’re reading on those forums, chevtothemax, is the immediate impulsive responces to a concept; virtually all of them are gut reactions that aren’t based on direct reasoning. Of course there’s going to be page after page of people posting “build it now” comments, that’s becasue a concepts motivate people to be impulsive with their reaction; the “wow factor” that auto designers aim for when making a concept.
It’s easy to get the crowds to say “Wow!” but it’s another thing for the crowds to settle down and produce the money and a credit history report. I very much doubt you’ll find people on a forum eager to brag about the amout of disposable income they have and what they’re credit rating is.
It’s very likely the number of “build it now” posters are a inverse of the number of people who post “build it now and here is a proof of my finacial abillity to buy your product”.
GM is only interested in the latter anyway.
