Chevy NO More - Are they serious??
GM might have lost their marbles over this one.
And one way to present a consistent brand message, the memo suggest...
How much sense does it make to do away with a brand nickname that is as iconic as any other brand in the nation.
Most businesses would kill for that type of branding and GM has decided that they have to get rid of it to save Chevrolet????
Who's drinking what water at the top?

Fron the Chevrolet/ Chevy Facebook Page: Hi everyone. There has been very passionate commentary today about the "Chevy vs. Chevrolet" subject. We decided to get to the bottom of it and interviewed Alan Batey, VP of Sales, Service and Marketing for Chevrolet (a.ka. Chevy). Check it out. http://bit.ly/cRA7an

I think from a marketing perspective it makes total sense. Start out as Chevrolet, then allow the national markets to develop their own nick's for the vehicles, but still keep the corporate communications refering to Chevrolet. That way people know it is a solid American Product, but it is THEIR American Product, not an American Product that is being force fed to them.

Same game Ford played with the Mustang some 20 years ago. Act like you are going to cancel the model or brand and presto. . . tons of free press and a resurgence of interest in the brand. Very clever marketing in my opinion.

Ah once again the "mouse in the corner" heard the Morons speak.Amazing how some of the insiders talk..when they think they are in private.Kill Chevy ? Ya right!If a large number of the insiders had actually worked at the process of selling "Used cars".It is easy to sit in a board room of "Yes Men" with rubber stamps and back pats.
Come on guys start at the bottom and wash cars...push em out of snow drifts...jumper cables(jump packs go dead like the brain dead in Detroit) You guys just do not get it!
I am Otto Sales and you are not!
