RE: Blog: GM rains on Ford’s parade

What do you thin about this? Conveniently timed...

Having worked at Daewoo the team handed a profitable business to GM with a 1.5% market share, many senior staff that left went on to have much success in automotive roles and other businesses, it is dissapointing to see the wilting and dying end of a brand and the likely loss of jobs for the employees. Overall GM got the product wrong and spoilt the original offer; the very simple 3x3x3 staple offer was understood by all customers as a transport solution. The upside? Vauxhall is doing a job for GM and without the distraction of Chevrolet may find the extra 0.5% to peg back Ford in the short term, however the Chinese brands that deliver transport solutions [think Dacia in Chinese] are likely to appreciate the gaps in the market and the showroom space methinks!
