GM needs a very competative product at every segment that Toyota competes.
Great cars, crossovers, SUVs, and trucks of all sizes......Right now, if gas prices drop to $2.30/gallon (it's just as likely as $5.90/gallon), GM has no real competative mid sized trucks and SUVs, but they have great full sized products.
When the gas prices when up, they had great sports compacts, but average compacts and very out dated subcompacts....and no affordable hybrids (BAS doesn't count).

GM does have a diverse lineup. They have very small cars in Europe (Chevy Matiz) to very long and sporty cars in Australia (HSV427) and everything else in between in different parts of the world. The difference being GM's plants are older and not as flexible as Toyota's.
