Again... from strictly a business standpoint
It has to be in this global economy. If you are a major corporation, that is the only way to look at it.
Do not look at any other way, if you are a major corporation. I think this is the part you are not getting.
Yes it will do battle with the Mustang, but the Ford Mustang has a head start and the Challenger has barely gotten off of the ground. You cannot compare those two.....it is not fair.
GM being financially irresponsible or not making a good business decision
GM has the muscle to pull it off and Cerebus is too new. Again not a fair comparison.
Your comparisons you keep making are not totally valid between the cars and companies back then to the way things are done now in global economy.
You have to build something that you feel will have a good ROI based on the market and doing marketshare research and what you can build.......
you cannot do this on emotion or shoulda, woulda, coulda mentality.
Thanks for the complement on the debate, but I am not trying to debate. I am just trying to paint you a realistic picture.
As an example, Ford built my all time favorite car the GT-40 but they call it the Ford GT. This was supposed to be "the pace car for an entire company".
That was a decision that was based on emotion.....it was a flash in the pan. Ford is not doing too well these days and btw neither is GM for that matter.
I do not like convertibles myself so I will consider this my last post on this topic. I would much rather talk about what is about to happen in Challenger news in a configuration I am interested in and a convertible is not one of them.
Give me a 7.0 L/MDS/VVT/6-speed manual Tremec/LY platform/G meter/shaker hood/18/19" wheels/HD-FM/six-shooter LED/electrochromatic mirror/IRS/hi perf exhaust/gear ratios and you then you get my attention.
Enjoy the forum!
