I see your point, MSD. Plus, the share of advertising GM devoted to Chevrolet as compared to Pontiac was ridiculously lopsided, too.
What I couldn't understand was the cross-branding of so many vehicles. Yes - we all know that the Camaro and Firebird were similar. But now it's even worse. I currently own a GMC Envoy. It was also sold as a Chevy Trailblazer, an Oldsmobile Bravada , and even as an Isuzu Ascender.
In fact, the only difference between most GMC products and Chevrolets is that a lot of optional equipment on the Chevy comes as standard on the GMC (similar to Ford and Mercury). Why spend all that effort and money on different makes of the identical model? Just for brand loyalty?
