I don't think GM has had a strong presence in mid-size (by US standards) off-roaders globally in the past few decades (maybe ever).
LR Defender, Toyota 4Runner and various versions of lower-end Land Cruisers (Prado, II etc.), Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero/Shogun, Nissan Pathfinder and Patrol etc. have been dominanting this segment outside North America for a while now. So in a sense GM aren't "giving up" this segment globally since they never had it in the first place. Of course, it would be nice if GM had a competitive product in this segment...
