Its because.............you guessed it.....................of their full sized light duty pickup and SUV segment, and lightly of their midsized pick ups. Sorry if this sounds like a broken CD, but you will find out when you sit in one and drive one. Not necessarily the top optioned Trail Boss or High Country. Sit in a regular Silverado or an RST. Look at its innovation of options, the passenger room, the road feel and handling (with any engine). Case closed. Aside from being a bit large and a tad thirsty, these vehicles are very capable of handling any transportation duty, and hauling anything. These vehicles even look good. It is no wonder that, in terms of sales, Pickups are where the action is, and GM with Ford are the industry leaders of the genre.

Sure would be nice if they came out with a modern version of the early '90s SS short beds. Equip it with a hot V8 and a 6 speed manual trans. Slightly lowered. Sport suspension. Stripes and aero. Since it would be on an existing product line they wouldn't need to produce a new type of vehicle. Maybe special order only? I do realize that there probably isn't a high demand for this type of vehicle but it's nice to dream.
