Sad as it may be Pontiac would have been my last choice to drop and first to keep. At least they try.

GM would have been better off keeping Chevy's for people who buy cars as an "appliance" and Pontiac for those who like to pretend they are enthusiasts.

The GMC trucks could SO easily be rebranded Chevy. Buick just has no place with anyone this century just by association with "old men" for the last 50 years. Their marketing people probably think I am their target market; that is how far out of touch they are and demostrated by how hard they spent and tried with Tiger to no end.

I'd even bet if they had a "euro division" with a mix of the best from Opel and Saab they'd pull that off too. Even if they just made a business of importing euro GM cars (made in Europe to world (our) specs) they'd sell. I'd buy an Opel Roadster over a Saturn Sky or Pontiac Solstice for no reason alone other than I still enjoy sex with women and know what gets them off.

Based on what I have seen recently I am going to praise Ford, it almost seems like they finally listened to my rants on FJ almost a decade ago. I'd almost forgive them. ALMOST. They need to forget the Mustang for a while but keep it simmering as there will always be a market for such things but they need a "halo car" at this time just like Subaru once did.

FORD: BRING THE MOST RIDICULOUSLY FAST FOCUS TO NORTH AMERICA ONLY AND MAKE "THE REST OF THE WORLD" JEALOUS FOR A CHANGE.

For every one you sell here, even at cost, you will sell 10,000 more base models just by association.
