I believe what I believe – by observation – not analysis – as “figures may not lie” but “liars can sure figure”. Just look at any annual corporate report – the day before they go belly up – you’d think they were golden.
And I believe unless GM brings back Pontiac – as a separate and distinct brand – featuring performance, reliability and eco-sense – they may just fade into oblivion.
The American buyer – is looking for a quality car – that can compete with the BMW 328i and all the other Acura, Audi, Nissan and the like clones – and Pontiac can be that brand.
Not Chevy – Chevy will never out live it’s “blue-collar” image.
Likewise Buick – just go out on the road and observe the age of the typical Buick driver – it’s never going to shake that “old fogy” image.
Cadillac is competing against Mercedes – that’s it.
GM – start thinking in a forward direction – sharpen your resolve – go with the Arrow-Head – it’s your best hope !
