Rumors that Sonic is indeed dead after this year due to no CARB registration.

GMC = General Motors Truck Company. Either way it's General Motors Company. |

Yes, but they're both 'General Motors' & the general public's perception is that General Motors Company & General Motors Truck Company are one & the same. Ultimately, it's perception that matters, especially in marketing. General Motors Company has never shied away from the perception & even embraced it in 1998 by changing the branding of General Motors Truck Company from 'GMC Truck' to simply GMC.
Fun Fact Edit: May 2, 2018 will be the 100 year anniversary of General Motors' purchase of Chevrolet. |

General Motors didn't buy Chevrolet. Chevrolet bought General Motors and rebranded the company.

I do agree with you that General Motors is a brand. Just in the broad sense, not car marketing sense. There is very low public awareness of it & even less marketable value to it. About the best way I can describe GM's brand is that of an industrial stalwart, and possibly the most 'corporate' of the car companies. They tried to strengthen their brand awareness a little over a decade ago with the 'Mark of Excellence' badges, otherwise known as the 'chiclets', that they were putting on everything. Then the company went bankrupt & they stopped trying to get everyone to associate the cars with the company.
