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.
The GMT-800 trucks would have celebrated their 10th birthday this year. A simple "update" would have left you and other critics complaining that GM didn't do enough to keep them competitive. With you and others like you, GM will never win. You clamor for world class vehicles, yet you suggest they should just put a band-aid on their biggest sellers.

I'm glad you don't run my company.
