i think its brilliant , it seems to me half the battle for car sales is getting people into the yard, 3 name brands in one place is sure to attract people, it will be interesting how the other non GM brands are represented .

I'm pretty sure Ford did something similar in 2008. I don't think it was at every dealer though.

It all ended in tears with GM going broke (because of other things. ) |

But seriously, I think this is one of those situations where you don't want customers even thinking about another product. why on earth would GM give Toyota any air time whatsoever? |

This should be interesting. I wonder just what info we WILL hear about the outcome.
I agree, a balsy move. You've gotta have confidence to do something like this. Knowledge would be even better. ;) Steve

Did GM try this cross shopping thing with the Camry in 2008? It could be a false memory but I'm sensing Deja vu... John |
