I would be happy with that too, but I am not sure they do.
If their 4 products are going to be G8 (large sports sedan), G5 (small economy 2 door coupe), Vibe (economy wagon/Toyota clone) and Solstice (small purpose built sports car) I am not sure what their identity is.
Is it performance, with the Solstice and G8 (could also be G5, but no GXP version to match Cobalt SS, and no performance Vibe)?
Economy, with the G5 and Vibe (and maybe Solstice)?
Just cars (Isn't Vibe marketed is a small CUV?)
High Style with the Solstice (and maybe G8, not really G5 or Vibe)?
High level of ammenities (G8)?
Back to basics/entry level (Solstice as back to basics roadster and Vibe, since G5 is generally higher equiped, more pricey than sister Cobalt)?
Maybe it needs time to flesh itself out... but these four choices still make the brand image look awfully confused.
