7 cars that will save Detroit

[pauldun170]

2011 Chevrolet Cruze - Competent rental car. Aspires to be the new Hyundai or something. Fleet sales will pump up numbers and have PR team talking about how well Cruze is selling. 2 years later everyone will notice the same shit going wrong with it that all GM passenger cars have going wrong with it and Consumer Reports will give it a black dot. End result will be the typical consumer in the market for something like the cruze will pass it up.

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Will save Chrysler just like the last time....oh look a cookie. There is no growth in that market right now. Existing customers who would have bought it whether it was carry over or new design...

2011 Buick Regal - Competent car (nothing special compared to competition but not a bad car for what it is) sold out of dealership that few go to.

2011 Ford Fiesta - Low Volume car. Makes nice media presence...not sales

2011 Ford Focus - Should do well until styling wears off. With the right marketing campaign this car could take over the niche VW is fucking up.

2013 Chevrolet Malibu - Will save GM just like last redesign did...oh look a bag o chips!!
Seriously...a 4banger drivetrain and Camaro styling cues is not going to turn this car into a sales king.

2013 Dodge Caliber replacement? Fucking really? "Something" in the future will save Chrysler. Thats what they just said...
