		<description>Denise,

I agree with you that the Budget brand is a good one. However, the declining industry and harsh landscape competition leaves no choice in times of economic dislocation that we live.

There are many reasons to euthanize a brand. As brand strategists, we know and probably agree with them. However, what about people that grow up with some brands, making them part of their lives? Should they just delete them?

Great post!
