i said it before and i will say it again. gm's biggest problem is a lakc of market identity for teh brands.
they cut olds and then suddenly saturn is making cars on all the same platforms. what is the point?
there used to be a clear and seperate image for each brand name. now gm seems content to follow market trends 3-5 years after everyone else and turn out the same car with the same weak marketing under 3 or 4 brand names all at similar price points.
if gm would get back to the old mentality of being a car company that people would grow with, they could getg back to holding 1/2 of the world automotive market like they used to.
later
