GM getting more and more desperate as sales plummet
The Detroit free press is reporting that GM is reeling after all the headway they made after the 'Let's make our employees even MORE unhappy and sell everyone a car, at the same price that they pay' summer promotion.
So the next bonehead move on the plate is giving away a $500 gas card if you buy one of their miserably inefficient SUV's.
Of course, the other usual suspects (Ford, DCX) will have their marketing teams sitting in a room ready to employ a bonehead move similar to this at a moment's notice, should it start to get any traction.
Will the slogan be 'Your first tank of gas is FREE'?
But don't worry, the Solstice is in dealerships and that should fix everything ;)
May I suggest a novel approach to the situation?
How about designing a few high volume sellers that people ACTUALLY want?
We hear they're waiting to do that as soon as they file chapter 7.
If there was ever an argument for sentencing people to jail for the crime of stupidity, this is it.
When will they finally say give and admit they have totally screwed up this business, over the last thirty years?
