    1998 - Pontiac Grand Prix 2002 - Pontiac Bonneville 2005 - Chevrolet Trailblazer 2008 - Chevrolet HHR 2010 - ? Like the Acadia right now (really miss the HUD I had in my Pontiacs), but by then, who knows?

    Great job! I've always said that what they needed to do was to sell the company first, the product second, because it's the company's image that is the problem.

    Just kind of a random thought, but these colors echo those found on the Honda Pilot, a model that this is designed to do battle with. I still wish for more loud colors, but I guess those are saved for the Buick...

    To me, the most important thing is to change your ad plan. You are coming along with product, now change up what you are selling, what I mean by this is: At sites like this, we are so pro-GM that all we talk about are things like RWD, horsepower, etc. But on the street, the other brands are winning on things like quality and company. So, to me, it comes down to this. 1) Sell the company first 2) Sell the sales experience second 3) Sell the product third I spent a lot of times in sales, and it was "sell yourself" then "sell your company" and only then "sell the product" If you can convince people that's it is OK to buy a GM product, then more converts will come over from the other brands. Sell quality, sell how many employees you have that work in the US, sell the advances in technology, talk about the number of gallons of fuel your hybrid busses save, talk about how long you've had on-star, talk about having HUD's in Pontiacs and Buicks, not just Caddies and Corvettes, talk about more vehicles with ABS than anyone else, talk specifically about amount of money you are spending on fuel cells for the next generation of easing our dependence on oil, talk about extensive dealer networks for service after the sale, and on and on.
