They produce small fuel efficient and quality cars that keep their value. Detroit failed to do that. They went for big profit in suvs and trucks and now they are paying for it. This is what happens when you have idiots in control of a company

Agree that GM needs it's entry level stuff to improve, but as always, you are COMPLETELY off-base when you said they should not have gone for the big profits in trucks and SUVs.
The reality is, GM is a for-profit, publically held company. Their purpose in this world is to build what people want to drive and (try) do it profitably. Now, you'll get no argument from me when you that GM was shortsighted when it came to small cars, but it's assinine of you to suggest that they should just concede the truck and SUV market, especially since they were selling so well up until the last year or so.
In short, GM shouldn't stop selling trucks and SUV just because you hate them.
