Re: GM to close 4 North American truck plants, may axe Hummer, Volt to be made in Det

Shreveport also builds the Colorado small truck its GMC sibling. They really need to update those trucks and make them compeitive with fuel economy a priority. They need to make the towing capacity more compeitive as well. The fact they have been saddled with a 4k lb towing limit most of their existence has limited their appeal.

Hopefully the new small cars come quickly. I can't wait to see the performance of the Cobalt replacement with the 1.4L DI turbo motor.
