I'm not sure why it is a problem?
Since so many folks buy Camrys it just goes to show how easy it is to breed non independent thinkers and mindless followers in this country too.
I don't think what i proposed was very many models. You also must keep in mind that many of those models are global as well, so you are leveraging global resources. and I had only about three sedan platforms to cover small mid-mid-large cars.
I'm so f\/cking tired of people saying GM has too many models. these are the same asshole jerkoff pricks in wall street and the press that said GM and Ford had to chase every little market niche, back around 2000 or so. "The Asians and Germans" were putting out so many specialty models and America was only selling bread and butter cars and trucks. Now, they diversify and go into niches and BOOM, TOO MANY MODELS!
Example...the SSR...BUILD IT! so chevy does. then what. no sales.
the problem isn't too many models. Its whetehr or not they f\/ck em up.
The SSR was a porker and slow and expensive. Add power, drop the price, and put it on a diet and you sell by the truckload.
GM needs all its brands and all its models. They just need to build them better.
What good is a G6 if that's pontiacs only sedan? that would be like telling BMW to stop building the 5 and 7 series.
why give up brands and models? that is your chance to blanket the market like toyota only wishes it could.
