I wish them the best, but you should not have to surprise people by by saying "thats a Buick???" I look at a Vette or a new Camaro and say "now thats a Chevy baby!!" Big difference.
How can they change the brand's perception without surprising the public? Slowly lower the intended demographic by a decade with every redesign?
