I hate to tell you, but you're missing two things - a) some people want a CHEVY truck, not a GMC. b) Many people still want SUV, be they full-size or crossover, they want the room and flexibility.

Volt Vs Prius: Really? 65 miles on one charge? That's ideallic at most. I doubt most drivers would make it last 25 with their driving habits. I still say the technology needs to have more bugs ironed out rather than rushing it into production half assed as it is.
GMC as a commercial entity would fill just this. GMC could have a 'within the brand' luxury line in the Denali lines that could fulfill those that want the old style SUVs. I too would prefer a Silverado, but I'm being realistic in the fact that the two trucks (Sierra and Silverado) are just redundant, and it'd just fit better to lump them into the GMC line and axe the Silverado rather than having an extraneous vehicle in the Silverado/Tahoe/Suburban within a brand that is 'Green' that screams "I cans suk teh gazzes nao?"
And no, Hybrid Trucks and SUVs don't save it. It's only a sugar coating on a vehicle that is more or less the bane of GM's existence at the moment in the eyes of CAFE and the 'green is good' people that have a bit of clout in the world right now.
