Detroit Blues….

Filed under: Archived Posts — by jk19 at 2:26 pm on Tuesday, February 28, 2006
Watch the Olympics? I did. Just a bit. Did you see how many ads GM placed for their new Chevrolet Suburban? My guess is it was a national buy, and not regional. So you are losing billions of dollars, and you come at us with a 7-passenger gas hog that starts at $45,000? Now wonder why the Toyotas and Hondas are kicking your ass. They are spending their time and money creating vehicles that people really want! Nice, low priced cars that look good and get 35+ per gallon. Fact: Gas prices are high Fact: American Families are getting smaller Fact: SUV Sales are down everwhere, except in the economy SUV niche (Escape, Equinox, etc.) Fact: The Suburban was never a vehicle for the masses I am sure Detroit had more facts than that. Why they would blow their marketing dollars on a vehicle that has no future is beyond me, and the American public. Ohh Detroit, don’t blame your unions for your trouble. Don’t blame the American public. Look in the mirror. Then ask yourself, If I had no ties to GM, would I buy one? Is it the best value for the money? Are they even attractive vehicles? Is spending 1 million on the Suburban smart? Answer that, and you will make it. Ignore that, and you may be filing for chapter 11 faster than you think…. Ohh, by the way. JK

GMs increased marketing spends is like putting lipstick on a pig. No matter how pretty you slick it up, it’s still a pig.

I’m sick and tired of Detroit trying to ram these overpriced, gas-sucking products down our throats. It’s prehistoric. Time to usher in the new era…

Making bigger and bigger trucks is the only thing most american car manufacturers do better than foreign competitors, and that’s only because most foreign manufacturers won’t do it, because it won’t sell on their homefront.

I agree with all the previous posts. Detroit=dinosaur. unfortunately, they’re going to keep making excuses for their lack of innovation, and probably get bailed out by the White House’s credit card in a couple of years.
