I hate to say it but I would love to see GM cut like half of their vehicles from their line-up, and close down a fair number of dealerships (I have heard 25%, but I was thinking more along the lines of 10%, then keep cutting in 10% increments until it starts working out better since one of the appeals of GM is how accessable their dealerships are, so they should still keep a good amount). Well that's my $.02, hang in there GM!

GM can't afford to be cutting dealerships or models. It's too expensive, and not really business smart. You don't get much return on something you don't let develop (new vehicles). It would put the economy in an even worse place if they started doing this. Thousands, tens of thousands of jobs would be lost.
