I too do not agree that the Gov't should be making these decisions, but when you have:
Enclave, Traverse, Arcadia, Outlook, all cross competing, maybe a leaner meaner GM is not that bad.
The list goes on, and on... The new Malibu (which is great), took many sales, I am sure from the Aura...
Ford Markets their Ford, and Lincoln line, Toyota= Toyota, Lexus, GM: GMC, Pontiac, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, Saturn...
Every Interior difference, and Sheetmetal, and front fascia, and rear, all carry huge devolpment costs.
Something to consider, is all I'm saying...
*yes, I know Mercury is part of the FMC, but they are a none factor... without an independant dealer network...
Many here have been saying that for a while now. But seriously, what's so wrong about offering a Yukon, Denali, Suburban, Tahoe and Escalade?
