@wbodyfan: My next new vehicle doesn’t have to be “perfect.” Last I checked, there’s no such vehicle. So: Chevy is superior to Toyota? That’s a pretty bold statement. I’m not saying that Chevy is a poor brand, and I’m certainly not trying to carry Toyota’s water. It’s just that Toyota has set the standard for so long.
For the umpteenth time: If GM revives Pontiac, my next new vehicle will BE a Pontiac. If GM DOESN’T revive Pontiac, my next new vehicle will be a non-GM brand.
Don’t worry; my “panties aren’t in a bunch.” (And I suppose that passes for a decorous comment). I’m glad you have a firm, experienced grasp on consumer behavior. That means you understand that different consumers have different priorities and preferences. I guess that’s why I would settle for an “inferior” vehicle rather than purchase one from the company that killed my favorite brand.
