The emphasis on crossovers is doomed.

GM is betting on big SUV drivers to trade down to crossovers. I just don't see that happening. Saving 2-3 mpg on gas? When you can save 10-15 by getting a small car?

Sorry GM, this isnt where your strategy needs to be aiming. Fix the problem that makes it impossible for GM to build small cars profitably in the US. THAT'S the problem.
You're looking at a snippet of their product plans and saying they are focusing on crossovers. They have vastly more cars coming than they do crossovers.

Highest-priority programs:

*Volt (car)
*Epsilon II (all cars)
*Delta II (all cars)
