It's really hard to stay upbeat these days, isnt' it. The economy. The auto industry, and now swine flu. I'm afraid to ask "what's next"!
Remember things happen in 3's so...... It's all good from here on in!
It's almost like the dirty Thirties have come full circle... Reccession/ Depression, epidemics and pandemics etc... Almost all this happened 70+ years ago and it's almost full circle again.
I'm bitter to see the Pontiac brand kicked to the side. I honestly thought you would see the Buick brand go before Pontiac. But, which brand is Chevrolet's biggest competitor? Pontiac. Let's face it, they want Chev as the low buck starter brand, Buick next step up for middle class luxury and Cadillac as the premium brand. GM eliminated the heavy weight between it's low buck and middle class brands. We all know that Pontiac outsold Buick just by whats on the road.
