Replying to: cooterbfd (Jul 10, 2009 4:53 am) Well Fritz Henderson said today that GM will focus on four brands, Buick being one, and they'll focus on the environment and fuel economy. So it all fits. (AutoObserver) (Bvdj84, that wasn't a link for a personal purpose - just treat it as news. Unless Cooterbfd has moved to Kansas )

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 10, 2009 6:54 am) If moving to Kansas is what it takes to get my Lacrosse........  .......anyhow, it looks as if it was an ad by a Topeka dealer for NYC. So I guess they'd ship it for me. Too bad it's not the CXS or I'd consider it. It is the right color, after all

Replying to: cooterbfd (Jul 10, 2009 7:08 am) I haven't read all the news onsite but it looks like only Wards has the scoop. Fritz is saying today that "GM will offer 10 new models in the next 18 months." So it could be a bit of a wait. (Edmunds Daily) |

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 09, 2009 5:49 pm) What does the new CEO guy, Whitacre, think about this? Back when he was running Southwestern Bell and acquiring other telecoms, he renamed his company to SBC Global. But, alas, when he/they acquired and folded in the remnants of the old AT&T, he renamed SBC Global to AT&T for its superior name recognition. But, of course, AT&T never was a disaster and bankruptcy case and it had/has superior name recognition.

Replying to: xrunner2 (Jul 10, 2009 7:27 am)  New name? Let's see - General Motors Corp. is an anagram for Acorn Promoter Gels. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue but it has a nice Obama connection. Corporate Mongrels fits too.

Replying to: xrunner2 (Jul 10, 2009 7:27 am) They should make a break with the old name while retaining some continuity. The new company could be something like "GenM" for the new General Motors - there's a connection to the old company but enough of a change to show customers it is really new. Ideas: GenM - The new General Motors GM* - The New General Motors NGM - New General Motors GMT - General Motors Technologies (not a time zone!) GVC - General Vehicles Corporation USM - US Motors PMS - Public Motor Systems (sorry, got carried away...) |
