31: Too Many Options
Another thing all of the automakers have been doing is making too many options available to the consumer. When you go to buy a car you don’t want to have to choose between 10 or more different trim options just to get a basic set of wheels. GM has been doing this especially and it can confuse the consumer. You won’t know which package to choose and prices will fluctuate from high to low with nothing in between. Dealers are starting to charge for just about every option from the cargo nets to the floor mats. GM should get back to basics.
Consumers don’t want to be wading through a mountain of brochures just to figure out which model they want to get. They want to choose the car that fits their budget with the features that they like. GM is overdoing it with all of these trim packages and the current situation has made it more difficult to buy a car than ever before.
