Tell me, what is the reason to _keep_ a famous name? It's amusing that Flint suggests that Chrysler is the example to follow -- Chrysler killed the Plymouth brand not all that long ago, and let Eagle die after they bought AMC/Jeep. He makes other unfounded assumptions, too. "If you eliminated the Pontiac Torrent, for example, there would be less volume for the factory that makes the Equinox and the Torrent." So nobody would switch from the Torrent to the Equinox, or to any other machine built on that platform? Riiight... “But that’s no reason to kill a famous name.” Tell me, what is the reason to _keep_ a famous name?
