I dont see where they are forcing a change in the line up. Common sense tells you that you need to shift your product line to the new reality. One that came to us last year at $5 a gallon...
One where GM had a 50% market share, is below 25%...
I am not GM bashing, I am saying that some restructering will do it some good. Having all those brands adds to cost.
On a different thread, someone asked about a strip'd down Camaro, (no power windows, no ac... etc), and Fbod quoted Millions in development costs, to engineer such a car.

Total Sales through FEb:
Saturn Aura - 2,800
Malibu- 21,000
Pontiac G6- 10,000

Crossovers:
Outlook: 1,960
Traverse: 11,632
Arcadia: 7,991
Enclave: 6078

So, your telling me that GM should build whatever they want at a loss??? Thats 1900 Units for Saturn Outlook... Annualize that, and thats 12,000 units...

Stop GOV't bashing, and wake up to the reality that GM does need to restructer its brands... because its the right thing to do, not because of Gov't.
