The last thing GM needs is another divsion, even a subdivision.

What GM NEEDS is a compact and subcompact that can compete with the Civic, Corolla, Fit and Yaris. The Cobalt and Aveo aren't there. They aren't even CLOSE. The Cobalt needs to lose about 400 pounds and go with a sub-2.0L ECOTEC that can get it up to 30 MPG city. The Aveo needs a 40+ MPG powertrain.

And they can't be "just as good" as the competition. They need to be better--leaps and bounds better--before anyone will take them seriously.
