Replying to: m4d_cow (Jan 11, 2009 7:03 am) And Avalon is just another Camry. It was based on the previous Camry chassis. There are 3 Camrys; don't need that many. Buick can keep the current logo. It has nothing to do with the product.

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jan 11, 2009 12:23 pm) It ends when the product pleases enough to be the best. Up until the now, it hasn't. Relax. Regards, OW |

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jan 11, 2009 12:23 pm) I happen to agree that the badge is way out of date. Today's Buick is very different, and the badge should reflect that. That's one of the mistakes I think they made with Caddy too, actually. Oh and MPG can't just be competitive. If GM wants to survive, it needs to be CLASS-LEADING, not merely competitive. And yes, they have to be THAT much better to earn business back from some. The complaints are indicating what customers want to see from Buick. GM needs to answer and provide the customers with the product they want rather than whining that people are asking too much of them.
