Who else feels the big three auto makers failed to use video games as a marketing tool?

Since kids sit around and play video games 24/7, does anyone else see how the big three failed to use this to their advantage, like the other companies have done? Almost all of the games out there, are promoting the tuner type vehicles, and 90% of them are not American made. I feel this is what has led big business away. That, and designs that look like a sick dog drew up the plans. Being #2 or 3 only means you are the first and second loosers. They have taken on a mentality of calling the fire department after the house has burned down. You may know what I’m talking about, but they don’t. Try submitting a design to them, and you have to get permission to do so. I would think a sinking ship would welcome a life raft or two.

Gran Tourismo had cars from the big 3. I think the fall of the big american makers is because of a lot of things. Yes if they let their cars be in more games, they would be more appealing to the kids. I think that they really need to hit the cars from a different angle. Not just games, but magazines. The tuner’s have many magazines about them, the cars look hot, there are all these body kits, and parts one can order to make that stock car get its unquie design by you. The american 3 have cars that are more known for muscle, and the only real option is maybe changing the hood, and the parts on the engine. They will still look stock, just a little more beefy. What is more appealing to the young kids? Look at video games, we like to modify our characters, and tuners can be heavily modified unlike the mustang. I love the mustang, and I think it is the one car that is close to the tuner, but it is still so far away.
