Pushing Daewoos to make way for Chevwoos
Car buyers in the United States are accustomed to getting better deals near
the end of the month, as carmakers and dealers scramble to beef up their
sales totals.
But car buyers in western Europe can expect fatter-than-ever deals on
Daewoos as the end of the year approaches. That's because General Motors
begins selling Daewoos under the Chevrolet brand in western Europe on Jan. 1
and GM execs don't want any carryover Daewoo models sitting around confusing
the issue.

No easy solution, but execs talk steel
Rising steel prices have become a lot like the weather. Everywhere you go,
auto and supplier execs talk about steel prices, but so far no-one has
figured out what to do about them.
The topic popped up several times during Tuesday's seminar on mergers &
acquisitions sponsored by the Original Equipment Suppliers Association and
PricewaterhouseCoopers in Dearborn.
Interesting discussions, lots of questions, but no firm answers.

IMHO faranno una fatica enorme a venderle....
Infatti vedo in giro qui in zona offerte di Matiz a meno di 7000 €
con finanziamenti e tutto. Non voglio pensare a cosa succederà
quando il cliente tra qualche mese arriverà in concessionaria e
scoprirà che il suo marchio non esiste più. E' vero che non gli cambia
niente perchè l'auto sarà sempre seguita dagli stessi, ma il colpo non
è da poco e l'usato ne risentirà di sicuro...
