A Tahoe to an Aveo is a bit extreme, no? GM should have introduced all the crossovers they were going to introduce 3-5 years ago. Crossovers are a transitional body style and I'm concerned that GM will go all-in with them while buyers (and GM's competitors) have already adjusted to cars and station wagons.
There always was and there will always be a market for body on frame SUVs and crossovers, only now those markets are going to be the niches they once were for the original Suburban and Blazer.
