| My idea for GM
Before initial D, old school rear wheel drive corollas were worth next to nothing. They have a serious rust problem. A lot of people say that around 1999, they were worth something liek $1500 - $2000. Five years later, they're still worth $1500 - $2000+++ but with even more rust, km's, thanks to the initial D hype.
I think that GM should make an anime about their cars to improve sales. That is all.

How will making an animated series about old shitty rustboxes help GM to sell new cars?

Keyword is used... GM doesn't make used cars, (depending on how you look at it I guess...)
The point is to sell NEW cars, not old ones... And there was a movie, transformers!

young guy walks into dealership
buys family sedan
races it school, work, and gf's house
dude gets challenged to race to school, work, and gf's house by import/euro family sedan owners.
he beats them every time
it has to go like this or else people wont buy it

In a Pontiac G8 this could be believable. Too bad that car is gone now.

The Pontiac brand is still alive, until the end of 2010. And once the Pontiac badge is gone, the G8 is becoming the next Chevy Caprice.

Pontiac is gone as of Jan 2010, and there will be no G8-based (Commodore-based, rather) Caprice. Plus I don't think there are many G8's left, and I don't think they're being produced anymore.

GM need's to focus on improving the quality of all four core brands and strategically position it their target market. Customer needs to know GM is serious about coming back this time in a big way and each vehicle they make is going to be a winner.
Let's face it 90% of people of who purchase a GM vehicle doesn't not watch car animation therefore does not justify the investment.

Pfft.. they already sell the Commodore as a Caprice over in the Middle East. It wouldn't take that much to do the bumpers for North American markets.
I suspect after this economic downturn bullshit rolls by, you'll still see that G8 as a Caprice here in Canada. I kinda figure GM will 'surprise' us with a revived Pontiac then as well
