GM Re-invention

I would personally like to thank General Motors for the commercial I just viewed. During difficult times in our countries economy, it has been made obvious to me that many people are not fully grasping what is going on in our country, or turn a blind eye and believe it won't affect them. It's incredibly different to know that since 2000, a matter of less than ten years we will all witness the elimination of Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saab, Hummer, and Saturn. Brand names we have all become accustomed to in our everyday lives. I enjoyed the commercial because it provided the two things that people need when they're facing tough times. Truth and assurance. GM made it known that the current state of the nation is making it difficult for them to progress further the way they had in past times. They didn't try to sneak past and just bluff people into saying everything is ok. They also assured the public that they will become stronger and make a more efficient product with less variety. I believe that this was an excellent commercial for GM to present, but more than that, I think the message was better for people as opposed to cars. In tough economic times, don't try to do more than what yourself can handle, instead master the necessities of yourself and make yourself a more complete efficient product.
