Buick Super money could have gone into getting the Vibe out sooner... another hi-po version of the Vette (which is already world-class performance on a Chevrolet budget) could have waited and in turn the Aveo5 could be out now... one of the three Lambda big CUVs could have sat out 2007 to allow the Malibu to hit the ground sooner... so many examples of where GM could have made a larger impact in markets where they're lagging, instead of adding incremental sales (such as with the GMT 900s and Lambdas). |
It's just a matter of getting the priorities straight.
I still believe it's a very simple solution. If GM at the product development stage, then the financial reasoning behind it will come.
How much better could Escalade have been if it sat out 6-9 months?
How much better could Enclave have been if Acadia sat out a year? Or what kind of customers could have been attracted to the B-P-G dealerships?
I know no one agrees with me. Or at least few people do. Or they just love to disagree for the sake of disagreeing with me.
But that's half the fun of GMI.
