GM undergoing reconstruction, Pontiac gets the Axe |
|
Apr 27, 2009 - 8:58 AM - by Admin

You probably heard the rumors over the weekend that GM would be eliminating the Pontiac brand. This morning GM held a news conference announcing this major change along with additional moves to ensure the company is profitable again in 2010.
Significant changes include:
- A focus on four core brands in the U.S. - Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC - with fewer nameplates and a more competitive level of marketing support per brand.
- A more aggressive restructuring of GM's U.S. dealer organization to better focus dealer resources for improved sales and customer service.
- Improved U.S. capacity utilization through accelerated idling and closures of powertrain, stamping, and assembly plants.
- Lower structural costs, which GM North America (GMNA) projects will enable it to breakeven (on an adjusted EBIT basis) at a U.S. total industry volume of approximately 10 million vehicles, based on the pricing and share assumptions in the plan. This rate is substantially below the 15 to 17 million annual vehicle sales rates recorded from 1995 through 2007.

Star Wars fans, behold, your dream car; too bad the listing has ended. The original owner of this particular piece of automotive art apparently had a serious love affair with George Lucas's space-themed soap opera. Painstakingly painted across the surface of this unassuming Chevy are images of Yoda, Han Solo, X-Wing fighters and other movie characters, as well as nebula and galaxies originally photographed by the Hubble Space...
