I think it is short sighted at best. What will happen is they will cheapen the name (to which I believe they own the rights) which will spoil any future attempt to do a serious re-emergence. GM did that when they "Badge Engineered" the Cadillac. Cadillac used to be " a cut above" the more pedestrian GM products but fewer people think so now. IMHO Dave Massey St. Louis, MO USA |
