Now - our plan is to combine all Buick/Pontiac/GMC dealers into one location eventually -- but you can't force a dealer to give up his francise -- and you can't assign a second one in the same market based on francise laws..........so....we still have an obligation to provide a lineup of vehicles for those dealers who haven't all three francises......what would YOU do?
You can't seriously believe that EVERYONE at the top of GM is stupid or foolish --
Tell me what you would do differently with the Lambdas -- and while you're at it, I would like to see a complete cost analysis to show how you'd compete in the growing cross-over market.
(by the way -- watch what happens to the volume of the Traverse versus the other GM Entries -- you'll find that Chevy will move the iron at a much higher volume........)
Next assignment -- I'd like your estimate as to what it costs to bring a brand new vehicle to market -- as well as rebadging a vehicle such as the Equinox to Torrent..........
As to the V6 -- ever hear of the Direct Injection 3.6 in the new CTS?
Again -- I don't mean to be rude or caustic -- I'm just asking you to stop for a moment before making declarations -- you just may learn something by sitting back and asking questions -- rather than declarations.........
