Just like Lamborghini is the brand but Volkswagen is the corporation. I could go on with more examples, but I trust you get the point.

I stand by the fact Chevy is a division of the General Motors company. You can spin it all you want but you are 100% incorrect. Per wickipedia: "Chevrolet (/ˌʃɛvrəˈleɪ/ SHEV-rə-LAY) (colloquially referred to as Chevy and formally the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors Company) is an American automobile division of the manufacturer General Motors (GM). " Unless that is you're referring to it's historic placement, as yes you would be correct that it was in fact a brand from 1911-1918. People might "buy" Chevrolet, but they all know it's General Motors they're buying. No one has ever bought an Impala thinking it was built by Honda.

Budweiser is the brand. Anheuser-Busch is the corporation. Nobody buys a Budweiser thinking they're going to drink a six pack of Anheuser-Busch.
Same with Chevy and GM. |

Actually, rather than rely on Wikipedia, why not just ask GM how they define their brands. Photo below…

Instead we’ve devolved into what is or isn’t a brand. , so I’m going to try to pull us back up to the actual discussion. So, there’s video after video of “EVs are piling up on dealer lots”. Here’s the humorous part of that… The top selling EV brands are Tesla, Chevrolet, and Ford. Tesla doesn’t have dealerships so where is all this “inventory” piling up? Plus, Tesla sales are up 25.4% 2023 over 2022 on a year-to-date basis. That increase in sales has moved Tesla past Jeep, Subaru and Ram into 8th place in terms of Sales by Brand. Chevrolet is second in EV sales. Days inventory of Bolt EV (25 days) and Bolt EUV (41 days) are actually lower than the industry recommended 60 days supply. This indicates they are moving off the lots faster than expected. Ford is third in EV sales. Days inventory of Mach E is ridiculously high, but sales are still close to the same as last year’s sales. In October 2022 Mach E sold 2,849 vehicles. In October 2023 Mach E sold 2,732, so 117 fewer than the year before. So why the huge inventory build? Only Ford knows for sure. Maybe they were planning on a huge spike in sales? Maybe they were preparing for a long strike? Hard to say. Ford does not split sales reporting on the different trim levels of F150, so Lightning sales and inventory are not identifiable. But at the end of the day, other than Ford Mach E and Ford Lightning, the top selling EVs are up in sales (25% for the highest volume player) and have fast turnover from dealer inventory (Bolt EV and EUV) but videos keep saying “inventory is piling up on dealer lots”. Riiight.

You owe me a mousepad. Spit my coffee out all over it. At least I missed my keyboard.

I think Brand and Division when it comes to car companys like GM the names are interchangeable. The company GM controls the Division/brand.

[QUOTE=Martinjlm;11380063]
You’d actually be surprised how many people DON’T know that Chevrolet is General Motors or that Cadillac is General Motors. That doesn't surprise me at all. Its all part of the dumbing down of America. You'd be surprised as to how many think Nissan Honda and Toyota are American companies, and have no clue they are sending their hard earned dollars back to japan each time they purchase one. |
