I drive a GM car for a very specific reason. I know at least a hundred
people who do the same, also for a reason though not all of them are the
same reasons.
What I am implying is that GM can not take any 'idea' from any self
appointed guardian of GM's market share into account.

Sure, the Goat is a transportation appliance. And the C6. And the CTS-V.
GM has their share of transportation appliances, like most other
manufacturers. Toyota almost exclusively makes transportation appliances.
