old farts, my dad says " its more asuring to me to buy a GMC than a chevy"
he knows they are the same..but cause 2000- our dealers only import GMC's as for trucks. he only wants a GMT with a GMC emblem
Back here in Brazil when General Motors started to label Chevy medium-duty trucks as GMC it was the worst thing they could do because the GMC brand is not so well-known here. Then in 2002 GM went out of the trucks market here but supposed to introduce some Isuzu N-Series to be rebadged here as Chevy. But there were those export models such as the B-10 that in some markets were badged as GMC.
im gonna write alot of shiz so here goes
Q:
why do Ameican car co. do that ?
they know that wont sell.
take toyota for an example..
the highlux is the high lux every were in the world so you see it in Saudi, australia, afganstan,south america, china.,europ,..every where in the world it has one name, on look, different options, motors( not allot diiferent)
they also did this with the LANDCRUSIER its the same vehicle every were you go
same name same look same motors.
great policy
while what GM is doing.
made the S10,,,then fWONked up the littel truck and renamed it colorado...why??
some ppl just like to be smartasses
now here wich is a reletivly good pickup market. the sold the GMC sanoma fro only 10 years.. yeah it wasnt doing any good cause no after sale service was good enough to keep up with the Japs
then after that..they left the market with the small trucks..
the japs took over the market ...cause over seas, patriots and mamy arent here to help( mamy = the goverment)
GM did good job with big pickups and the sporty cars like the camaro and vette but to be honset thats about it
the small cars are domintaed by japs the midsize sedans also japs the big sedans also japs
why?
they keep it real... the camry is the camry..full size sedan
not like the malibu...it was a aginst the corolla then "wow i grew up ill fight the camry" fWONk that stay the same the lumina is here to do that...oh wait they killed the lumina too , customers who had good experince might actually buy you agine and recomend you to buy it.
another example is the caprice...why....really why
they killed that amazing vehicle that was in service for 30+ years with alot of loyal customer who difinitly would buy agine...they losed them to the crown victoria
now, why would GM kill the caprice and then revive it after 4 years in australia.
its called being smart assn ..
they didnt sell as much as they thought they would , because:
1- the US market is the largest in the world.
2- they didnt pay enough money for research and development as i have seen these cars sell for half price in less than 3 years!!
and we have 2 in our family a 2001 that was for 33,500$ and in 2008 was worth 4,000$ damn't it lost over 85% of its value!!
the camry brand new for 18,700$ worth in 2008 was 9,500 to 12,000$ not much so used value is good.
3- wich is drived by 2 : they has alot of manufacturing defects.
BTW THE AUZY CAPRICE HAD 2 GENS
1 genration from 2000 to 2002 then facelifted thru 2006
2nd gen from 2007+
the second gen has the looks but has more defects from the first gen WTF!
SO at the end all i can say as for the multi names multi looks have same name
it doesnt work
wake the fWONk up.
