You're over here acting like two low volume niche products (and for that matter, the top limited edition trims of those low volume niche products) are the only vehicles GM will sell moving forward when that clearly is not the case. GM has been making a ton of products that sell. I think they're in a good position now to offer a few "money grabs." If this was 2009 and the entire auto industry was in turmoil plus the economy in recession, then I would absolutely agree that it's not the time to be producing vehicles like this, but that was 12 years ago and GM is clearly in a much better, more stable position.



If you personally don't like the products, then by all means go to another manufacturer. Nobody's holding a gun to your head demanding you buy a GM vehicle. But inferring that GM isn't making products that sell is ridiculous, and considering GM's current Wall Street performance and recent financial results, I don't think you need to worry about bailing them out any time soon.

I did not say they do not produce products that do not sell. No need to get your panties in a bunch. I come from a family of GM. My opinion is that they are not going about this electrification the correct way.
