This is optimistic thinking; but if the whole market shifts towards cars on a grand scale...I can see people wanting MORE fun cars. A better-suited 'useless' vehicle, than the SUV... |
I hope you are right. With emotion of every car memory I have, I hope you are right. However, I would pose this question. After trucks and SUV's, what would you trim next given the consumer demand for more fuel efficient cars?
Now I will admit that performance coupes and sedans have the beneifit of a base model that is economically focused. Whereas there is little or no talk of a twin turbo 4cyl or a DI V6 in full sized trucks.
And I agree the consumer will make the choice for GM. If we are still buying HiPo cars they will still build em. Obviously we, the consumer, aren't buying enough trucks and SUV's to make it worth it for GM.
