Al, I agree with everything you said, but I just have to nitpick:

> If GM needs a small in the lineup, they go to korea and buy one from Daewoo and put their sticker on it...you might sell a few cars that way, but you won't build a brand following that lasts more than one purchase.

Isn't that really old school? What Korean models are imported to the US these days and rebranded with a GM label?

GM owns Daewoo these days, but all of the Daewoo models are sold in Korea and internationally. I don't think any are sold in America, even with a GM label. I could be wrong, though; it's been a while since Daewoo was on my radar screen.

"Make them agree to a very generous warranty for every new car sold. "

I don't see how their warranties can get much better than they are now.

Warranties don't sell cars.
