However if they had known what they were doing in the first place, they wouldn't have two identical Tahoe's, for example, with a difference here or there, which is a waste of money, to put it extremely simply.
I have no doubts that were they producing all their Trucks from one of the lines from the get-go, they would have combined all the split Sales to the one chosen brand. At the very least, I understand if these Trucks had huge differences in styling or luxury, etc., however let's face it, most people can't even tell a difference, minus the grilles.

Their most profitable brand is a bad business decision? Please explain. Also, you talk about how big of a waste of money GMC is, yet then go on about how it isn't unique from Chevy. The more similar they vehicles are, the less money has been spent on them, and consequently minimal wasted money.
Also, most people can't tell the difference between any two vehicles in the same segment, once badges are removed. You'd be surprised at how many people think a Malibu is a Camry.
