Thanks Doug for your straight reply.
OnStar has value for some people, and not for others. Some see and want the safety features, other's don't. You and others see it as a valuable item, I see it as a gimmick. Why not offer it as an option so we can choose?
- How much does the inclusion of OnStar and all of its associated gear and advertising add to the MSRP of a Saab? $500? How many more cars could be sold if the price were lower, if the money spent advertising OnStar was invested in advertising Saab, and if OnStar was offered as an option?
--->>> A couple of weeks ago we requested through the Saab website an informational packet from Saab about their cars. It recently arrived and THERE WAS MORE LITERATURE AND INFORMATION ABOUT ONSTAR IN THE PACKET THAN THERE WAS ABOUT THE CARS!!!! Seriously!! What a shame. I inquired about the Saab automobiles - what I got back was mostly a lot of stuff about something else. WHY?
Why doesn't Saab sell the excellent qualities of their automobiles? Why get diverted selling OnStar? OnStar isn't going to sell me a Saab - its a gimmick, and Saab doesn't need a gimmick.
Saab does not need to rely upon OnStar to sell its cars for them.
Please let the buyers choose - make it an option.
