And there you have it. You’re decision to reply to my comments by sidestepping my questions only proves my point. When pressed, you’re not willing to DO anything to get Pontiac back. For someone so passionate about Pontiac, you’re very non committal about actions. With just a little effort on your own, you could buy a pre-owned Chevrolet (avoiding giving any money to GM) and then apply the Pontiac elements yourself – or pay to have it done. It’s not that hard to do that, not that expensive, and a hell of a lot easier than convincing GM to do it for you. But no, you still want GM to do it for you – without ANY effort on your part. You haven’t done anything on your own to give GM an incentive. That is what I honestly find frustrating in our conversation, your talk without action. I have put forth a fair amount of effort into helping you – even though I feel a Pontiac as a rebadged Chevy is a total disgrace to the Pontiac heritage. I’ve offered guidance on a couple different ways to approach GM to revive the brand. You’ve either ignored them, or said that its not your job.
I’m not the one telling you what your obligations are. I’m just the messenger. I’m simply informing you that certain steps need to be taken to get GM to act. That’s just the facts of the situation that I’m trying to help you see. There’s nothing ironic about it. I’m trying to help you here, and you keep ignoring my advice. Maybe you didn’t ask for my advice, but I was trying to give some food for thought and maybe something that can assist you.
I don’t know about you, but in my job history, when I’ve presented project proposals, I must have an absolute minimum of three things: What is the end result, what is the benefit and what is the investment. In order to get my projects approved, I have to be able to describe those three things. I can’t say to management “You tell me.” If YOU want GM to act, then YOU must present some positive incentive. Even Chris Price at Bringbackpontiac tried to create a business case. It’s a poor one that completely conflicts with GM’s current path for Chevrolet, but its still a business case. In many of my previous comments to you, I’ve proposed questions to help you build a more convincing message. You’ve chosen to disregard my offers. If you’re going to sit there and not do anything, then don’t expect GM to do anything – especially if you are already through communicating to them.
Bottom line: You’re the one that wants Pontiac back so bad, yet you won’t even answer two simple questions to get the ball rolling.
If you’re not going to put forth any effort to get Pontiac back, then I sincerely apologize to you for wasting our time. Good luck.
