Plymouth rebirth?

I was wondering if anyone can put this rumor to truth? I heard it over on the car connection, I think. One guy said that they where building a new dealership and said that the sign they where putting up said Plymouth.

yea and they bought the name CAMARO..should be out in 2004 .

no I dont think so..unless you get a pic..maybee they were taking the sign down...there are still a few dealaerships with the Plymouth sign up I think..

I know a dealership here in MA that for the longest time had the Jeep Eagle sign up LONG after they dropped Eagle..

Why on earth your D/C tear down the whole Plymouth infrastructture, only to put it back up a few years later?

Makes no sense... I don't buy it for a second.

MB is going to rebadge Maybachs as Plymouths and sell them in the US for only $18,995.00 (minus- leather, woodtrim,navigation system, stereo, wheels, motor, transmission, body panels, rolling chassis, and your favorite Snoop Dogg CD and pimp hat)

He was the chairman of GM during the 80's. If you could point the finger at one man responsible for GM's nosedive, it would be him. Spent billions on purchasing EDS and Hughes Aircraft. More billions on upgrading GM factories with new technology to improve output and lower cost...in the end it did neither and produced cookie cutter cars with little differentiation. Responsible for launching Saturn, which, while it has a great reputation, doesn't earn a profit.

You know how every once in a while you spend money on something that just doesn't work out and end up losing the money? Well, that's what Smith did....with billions and billions....

You want to see his legacy? Go to www.google.com and search for Roger Smith GM. It's kinda funny.....or depressing.
