“Calm down, just because they can make money with 4 brands in NA doesn’t mean they are good enough to handle another brand on their plate.”
It certainly doesn’t, pal. In fact, I would argue that introducing more brands would lead to a decreased focus and a poor(er) performance. The fact, however, is that “New GM” is a highly-successful automaker with “high quality people” running the show. End of story.
“I personally don’t care that GM made a profit. I’m wealthy and I have everything that need so in the grand scheme of things. GM’s profit doesn’t matter to me and the fact that I’m happy is what matters not GM’s profit.”
Sorry, are you an American? If not, never mind. But if you are, I would assume you would have some kind of pride that a U.S.-based automaker is doing very well; I would also assume you have an understanding of why this is important… after all, no matter how wealthy you are, a super power like the U.S. needs to “make” something and can’t rely on a “services-based” economy. This isn’t a matter of opinion, it’s a fact.
So while GM’s profit doesn’t affect you directly here and now, it does have an effect on the economy, this country, and on things bigger than you, me, and everyone else here combined.
“My happiness is not dependent on Pontiac however, I personally would be more leaning towards Pontiac being sold however I know GM won’t do that. They don’t want someone who is smart enough to deal with Pontiac to make a competitor out of it and start eating away from GM’s business.”
The Pontiac you’re looking for will not eat “away from GM’s business”… at least not in any measurable and/or sizable capacity. People are simply no longer looking for those kinds of vehicles; no matter how much it pains me to say this, it’s true.
“No I didn’t look at the thread because this all irrelevant to my point. I’m looking for another car right now that has a manual and RWD. I wonder what could it be……..”
Have you heard of the Chevy Camaro or the Corvette? I understand they’re wonderful vehicles that do tail slides very well…
