Now that GM isn't splitting it's resources between Pontiac and Chevrolet they can focus on one good muscle car and keep Ford in it's proper place.
IMO part of what went wrong in GM is that they splintered too much and set brand against brand. Why make a Cadillac model of a GMC truck? GM, it's like cutting off your nose to spite your face! Why have a Camaro and a Firebird? They ended up looking so much alike, why bother?
Why make a Chevy truck? Why not just focus on making a higher and lower end GMC truck product good enough quality that a Caddy owner would want one? Offer a lower end model without all the bells and whistles for lower end truck needs.
Keep Cadillac a rich man's luxury car and let Chevrolet focus on the sport and lower end passenger car market with Camaro and Corvette and Malibu/Cruze/Impala? Don't try to make a Cruzillac, Cadvette or Cadaro.
Let GMC brand name focus on trucks, suburbans, Avalanche and Equinox.
I guess this is why I'm not running GM though. Blurring brands all together just didn't make sense to me and if I ran GM it would have stopped years ago.
