Replying to: 62vetteefp (Sep 01, 2008 4:15 am) I keep going back to what works and received significant development under the same name that became an iconic brand. Discontinued was the cost cutting mantra over the past few decades. What was lost along Madison Avenue over the years is quite apparent in Detroit today. Regards, OW

I especially like some of those newer names of, say, the last 2 or 3 years...Accord, Civic, Camry, Corolla, to name a few...   ...names that were not even around in the 80s and 90s...

Replying to: circlew (Sep 01, 2008 5:15 am) Keeping the names Camry, Accord, Civic, Corolla, etc. and simply improving the car seems to work for Hondota. Or is it Toyonda?  EDIT: Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. I posted before reading your clairvoyant (as you read my mind before I even read here and posted) post! |

The constant name changes is killing me. The term G6-8 BLS, STS, sounds too technical and less emotional, not to mention having no long term reputation at all.

Replying to: lemko (Sep 02, 2008 4:25 am) Right now I would say the products that could be considered boring at GM are pretty close to the end of their lifecycles: Aveo, Cobalt, Impala, Trailblazer, G5, G6(I guess I think this one still has a lot of exterior style to it), LaCrosse. Everything else looks pretty up to date for their segments. And I guess we would have to look at the definition of boring since it would be different for each person and each segment. The Fit is pretty hot right now and the Aveo / Yaris are darn "boring". The Civic is hot and the Cobalt/Corolla are pretty mundane. Cobalt looks nice but just not a lot of excitement. Malibu is pretty much at the top of the class for midsize volume cars. In large cars there is the Lucerne vs. the soon to be gone Avalon. |
