[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 3694460, member: 27098"] Part of the failures were not understanding their markets. Oldsmobile's last ad: "This is not your father's Oldsmobile." All that does is reinforce the fact that you are buying an old man's car, however instead of borrowing your Dad's you own it and are now driving an old man's car. They understood what people wanted more in the 1960's when they came out with "Look what Doctor Oldsmobile cooked up in his lab," You knew you where getting a well engineered car that was a monster at the dragstrip and on the streets. Of course mismanagement and bad engineering contributed to the demise of these companies, the marketing showed it more clearly. [/QUOTE]
