I'm actually glad to hear this news. I don't think GM should sell everything off. they need to find a way to make money on everything they sell. GM used to make Heavy Duty as well as medium duty trucks. Why is it that Peterbuilt, Freightliner, Mack, and Volvo and Izuzu can make money on trucks and GM Can't. Well I think they can and should. Given the size of GM and it's global reach, it seems that they should be able to make a better product than those companies and sell trucks at a better prices and still make proffit. GM should try to do with big trucks what they are doing for cars with the Volt. That would be revolutionary.
