Who cares? Maybe you don't, but let me tell you that GM
definitely cares. The truck market is in a state of decline, and yet Tundra sales are
increasing. Tacoma sales remain steady, so the excuse that Tacoma buyers are moving up to the Tundra doesn't fly. That means the increased Tundra sales are coming at the expense of Ford and GM. Dodge Ram sales have remained steady so far. Each truck sale GM or Ford loses to Toyota is a huge amount of profit lost. Right now trucks are GM's biggest profit makers, same thing with Ford, and Toyota is attacking the segment head-on.
RamJet502 has said it loud and clear. GM needs to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. All Wagoner and Lutz do is talk, talk, talk. Let's see some solid results GM. Let's see 6 speeds and the 6.2L engine available in ALL Silverado and Sierra variants.
