GM needs to stop getting hysterical about whatever lies the media are propagating.

GM as the world's largest automaker needs to make: tiny cars, compact cars, midsize cars, large cars, FWD, RWD, allWD, midtrucks, large trucks, mid SUVs, large SUvs, mid Xovers, large Xovers, minivans, hybrids, electrics, 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, 8 cylinder, manuals, automatics, manual mode automatics, turbo, supercharged, etc. And they need to keep making them regardless of what today's trend is. Just look at Toyota. Have they stopped making minivans? Have they stopped making mid-size SUVs? Have they cut divisions? Have they announced in a panic that they'll stop making engines except for 4 cylinder ones? Are they going to put a 4 cylinder in their Turdas?

GM is setting itself up for some future catastrophe by being short-sighted and going with trends. They know well it takes them 15 years to respond to any trend and here they are willing to throw out half of the company for not good reason. No more money for Pontiac, Saturn, Cadillac. This is more a reflection of the mess Ricky has gotten GM into than anything else.
