But selling SUV's to cover the losses of your small cars is not a healthy way to run a car company. Its even less healthy to be in a position where you are forced to sell cars at a loss, because it would cost even more to not sell them. Why? Well ... what happens when people stop buying those profitable SUV's? Whats the backup plan for when gas prices go up?

You need to be blaming the management of GM's inability to recognize a changing market, considering GM was only selling these SUVs because of consumer demand at the time.
