They phaze out the big stuff less turnover and setup of factories and build higher profit vehicles since their margins on larger vehicles is not very good vs 20% + for the smaller cars. More gas taxes is not going to solve our problems, it will just put more people out of work. As stated above let the consumer make thier own decisions on what they want to drive. JMHO not worth much but

That is the problem, and GM is not the only large company guilty of this—they all do it. Problem is, these companies don't want to be burdened with anything; they just pass it on to the consumer. As consumers, we don't have that luxury. Similar thing happened with electric rates around here. People were getting more energy efficient and using less energy. This led to lower profits by the utility company. So what do they do? Raise elec. rates of course. Then again, this is nothing new. It'
s just greed. Plain & simple.
