Take the basic platform, and mold it to fit each market segment. Not a whole new car for each segment. You have the concept, but the execution needs work.

I didnt mean like a one year. Maybe something like 5yrs or 6. But only do one at a time. They could use existing platforms to make "the special runs" Don't they use current existing platforms for most concept cars?
And I forgot 1
1 small/mid-sized truck - no lux version
And by all means share R&D across the board.
Nothing wrong with startin with what works and go up from there.
Cadillac needs to go back to their roots. No trucks and no SUV's rebadged from other units.
I know that there are a lot of "name" fans for Buick,GMC,Pontiac, etc but GM has too many names.
Chrysler already played that game and is now down to 2 + Jeep. No more rebadge for them.
Come on Dodge Neon and Plymonth Neons being sold at the same time. That was a joke.
