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.

I am not saying that gm should of stop selling trucks and suvs. They should sell them. Because of them. GM pushed back EPII, Zeta, DeltaII. This is why GM is not doing good with retail customers. If they did not igonre these products They would have market share of at least 25%. Maybe they should of just updated silverado and tahoe. This trucks are losing 20% in sales each month. How much worst woudl they do if they just updated those trucks. Let say that gm just updated trucks and sales went down 40%. But if they Made EpII, DeltaII and zeta platform on time sales would go up and offset decline in trucks. Gm would not lose any market share. Again this is part of bad leadership at gm. They are to blame. NOt American Consumer. Consumers are going to buy best product out there. (LIke GMT 900) and they will not buy (Cobalt, IMpala(impala is a fleet king)and aveo). Everybody on this site is blaming consumers for mess that gm is in. Well its not their falult it is GM leaders fault.
