* They have a cult following (similar GM vehicles) in Japan.

* They WILL make money on them...Why not when demand is slackening here.

* The Sequia came out two years after, so it should be better. Funny thing is when comparing similar models, it still gets worse gas mileage.

* This is not a huge announcement, just a decision to a) make money and b) please the market in the coutnry. Nothing wrong with either.

BTW, I always love when peopel start exclaiming how "everyone doesn't want big SUVs" anymore. Funny how they say that after the sold like a gazillion of them at huge profit margins and STILL make a boat load of cash on each, even if the discount them. The saved GM.

Then again, these are the same people who yap about the economy being crap, but fail to mention that it was on fire for a record number of years, individual tax rates at their lowest ever, unemployment under the 30-year average, average family wealth (which counters the personal debt they always talk about), etc. You cannot just throw out b.s. without comparing it to something, seeing the bigger picture.
