First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Pontiac didn't die today, that brand was killed many years ago. And I think it all comes down to appearance.
When a customer is looking for a new car the exterior design is a much more important factor than anything else. Then comes the overall quality impression. When I say quality I'm not talking about the expected lifecycle of your transmission. I mean the perceived quality impression you get from things like interior surface material choice, door closing sounds, fit and finish, gaps, NVH etc. And also, today buying a car is not just a matter of transportation. We all know it's a way to show your personality. I don't blame that girl who ditched her Buick for a RAV4... Please don't kill me but in my opinion the american car styling got lost in the eighties. Yes, there are some good looking cars now. But still the big 3 are pumping out a lot of butt ugly cars. /Niklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/>
