What it proves is that GMC is a very confused brand.
Professional grade? Commercial? Luxury? What is it trying to be? Because its marketing isn't showing that.

That's what I'm trying to say. It is these historical notions of brands that is holding GM back.
The issue is GMC itself. It really should be GM's "Professional Grade", commercial grade truck.

Let's get rid of all he preconceived notions of what Chevy and GMC should be. What GM needs is one single truck company. Period. Anything more is a complete waste.

Chevy is it because Chevy is supposed to be GM's global pillar.
