General Motors intends to build the Pontiac Solstice concept roadster introduced at the 2002 Detroit auto show, a senior executive said.

'We have every intention of bringing it to market, and bringing it to market to make a buck,' John Smith, group vice president for vehicle sales, service and marketing, told the Automotive News World Congress.

GM officials have said they are studying the vehicle, which would require a new rear-wheel-drive architecture.

Smith also said that GM wants to do a better job of selling to customizers. And it wants to bring its share of three key ethnic markets -- blacks, Asian-Americans and Hispanics -- up to the level of its overall market share of 28.6 percent.

But Smith was skeptical of special product programs aimed at youth. GM is not considering a youth-oriented product line like Toyota's new Scion channel, he said.

It would be more effective to train salespeople to deal with young shoppers who have used the Internet to gather information, Smith said.

'It's fair to say on average that they probably know more than the salesperson for any brand,' he said. 'They're not looking to be handled the way the sales process has handled people in the past. They're not looking to be handled, period.'

Αν κάτι φαίνεται να ανταποκρίνεται στο κριτήριό μου, θα το σχολιάσω θετικά, ανεξαρτήτως προέλευσης (εντάξει, είμαι ακόμα προκατειλημμένος απέναντι στα Κορεάτικα, λόγω εμφάνισης κυρίως και corner-cutting σε διάφορους τομείς που δε θέλω).

Εαν ειναι ετσι. Μπραβο σου τοτε.

Μόνο μια ερώτηση... Ήταν ανάγκη οι ζάντες να είναι ΤΟΣΟ μεγάλες (και τα λάστιχα τόσο χαμηλοπρόφιλα);

Αυτο στις φωτο ειναι concept. Το πραγματικο μοντελο σιγουρα θα εχει μικροτερες ζαντες, κτλ. Σιγουρα και καποιες αλλες διαφορες.
