To be fair to GM, they really do need to concentrate on product development that is sure to produce strong sales volume. While there is probably still a market for large cars, what GM really needs right now is a fleet of small and mid sized cars for the masses. Cadillac's success was built on moving people from Chev's and Pontiacs up through Buicks and Oldsmobiles into Cadillacs. Spending money on large cars at this point in time doesn't make good business sense for GM.

Here is an alarming sidenote. My 20 year old neice was by with her family on the weekend. Her dad was speaking to me about when I am going to replace my car and if I was buying another GM given all the company's financial challenges. My neice jumped in with "What kind of car does GM sell? I don't know of any". That say's it all, a 20 year old who can't think of a single GM car. This is a girl who owns her own Nissan Maxima, her boyfriend a Hyundai, her father a Lexus and her mother a Mazda. My brother replied, your Grandmother's white Buick is an example of a GM car. She replied with a frown "oh that's what they make". A sad sign of the times.
