Lenovo PC and Olevia TV?
It takes a lot of time and a lot of money to build a brand. It takes very little to destroy it.
GM has not appreciated the Buick brand name for some time. They say it's an old person's brand and want to give it a youthful image to market to the young.
As if the elderly don't buy cars...
