....had been a Chevy Impala instead, which car would sell more copies? You take the LaCrosse, restyle it only slightly (grille, etc.) to be a Chevy, and market it as the new improved Impala (a la Malibu). Would that car get more sales than the Buick? IMHO the answer is YES. Which is why Buick is a mistake and one less division would lower GM's costs and increase their sales. |

Impala really kinda sucks, but that's why it's perfect for fleet-fodder. Make the Chevy LaCrosse a Celebrity or Lumina, keep Impala and make it fleet-only.

Replying to: lemko (Jul 04, 2009 5:23 am) Bingo! Cars.com's American-Made Index highlights the cars that are built here, have the highest amount of domestic parts — with eligible models having parts-content ratings of 75% or higher — and are bought in the largest numbers by Americans. The Toyota Camry, once an American-Made Index presence, hasn't appeared on this list since 2007. Not only does it return for 2009, it's displaced Ford's F-150 as the only leader this list has had since we began compiling it in 2006. Three others joined the list, two of which — the Ford Taurus and Toyota Venza — have never been on the AMI before, and Detroit automakers claimed just five of the 10 spots. That's a record low for them. MP: "Foreign" automakers captured half of the top ten spots for American-made cars in 2009: #1. Toyota Camry (pictured above) #4. Honda Odyssey #6. Toyota Sienna #7. Toyota Tundra #10. Toyota Venza Regards, OW |
