Vibe is doing well, which is nice to see. It's a likeable little car, and a decent alternative to a larger crossover or even SUV, for those that don't use them to two or haul tons of cargo.

Equinox and Torrent replacements are sorely needed. It's nice seeing Aura sales steadily creeping up. Malibu is doing very well... I hope G6 isn't like 95% fleet! CTS is floating Cadillac. Getting another, fuel-efficient motor into Aveo should be a priority. Buick will be lucky to hit 250,000 units this year. Hummer should be sold already. Saab as well.

GM replacement several high-volume vehicles with lower-volume ones... Grand Prix with G8, Ion with Astra... they're really hurting those brand's numbers. If they're making decent profit then it's a little easier to swallow... but it's still got to hurt alot.
Changing names does not help either
