早9:01几分钟前,通用宣布了大家意料之中的事情:决定杀死庞蒂克品牌。通用决定今后主打4个牌子——雪弗莱(Chevrolet),凯迪拉克(Cadillac),GMC,和别克(Buick)。一些分析家觉得其实通用只需要两个,雪弗莱和凯迪拉克,因为日本很多公司,如丰田(Toyota),本田(Honda),日产(Nissan),在美国都主打两个品牌。但是客观的说,通用现在确实品牌少些了,比起它1908年创业之初。
# [8 _8 ]3 r) m, k2 s6 V通用CEO说悍马(Hummer)和土星(Saturn)将会在今年年底(2009年年底)脱手,庞蒂克(Pontiac)则2010年。Fritz Henderson,通用的CEO说,品牌之间“只能相互竞争却不能同仇敌忾”,他说通用从没有打算以庞蒂克取胜的路子,而庞蒂克品牌背后也根本没有能在市场竞争需要的两把刷子。

Our colleagues at DealBook are live-blogging the Monday morning news conference by Fritz Henderson, president and chief executive of General Motors:5 w1 M1 ]# m% }" S6 |# H3 j4 E
- G* |5 B8 W' b+ c% Q, @9:01 a.m.| A few minutes ago, G.M. said what everybody expected: it is killing the Pontiac brand. It expects to go forward with four brands — Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick. Some analysts think all G.M. needs is two — Chevrolet and Cadillac — since Japanese companies, like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan — primarily have two brands in the U.S. But to put this in perspective, G.M. will now have fewer brands than it did when it started in 1908.2 f' G" G/ X+ |5 J9 B$ W; u" y* O
) B) l5 r) D2 b: YG.M. chief executive says Hummer and Saturn will be gone by the end of 2009; Pontiac goes away by 2010. Fritz Henderson, G.M.’s chief executive, says brands “only play offense well. They don’t play defense well.” He says G.M. didn’t have a strategy to win with Pontiac, nor could it put the market muscle it needed behind the brand. |
