People here seem to forget that GM is a major european automaker. Should they just abandon the premium segment in Europe? Wouldn't this put GM at a major disadvantage versus Ford, VW, and Fiat?

Meanwhile they have 3 premium brands (Cadillac, Buick, Hummer) in North America - the problem is here, not in the EU where their brand hierarchy actually makes some sense (Chevy/Opel/Saab).
