If they are truely concerned about 12-21 mpg image then drop the Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, et al. GM has done nothing to update this line they just simply let it die.
You couldn't be further off the mark.
GM products for the past 4 years to date are as good if not better than
any Nissan , Honda "Trucks" are not trucks they are cars and can not trailer anything and Toyota.......really? Read the papers, every time GM made improvements on their suv live Toyota had to follow suit. look at their new suquoia (or whatever it is)
think before you type and get the facts straight instead of blindly bashing!
this site gets worse every day .

Could the Volt be coming to Moraine. Fuel Cells I believe are built in Sprigboro?

They've been building cars and trucks in Mexico for decades and production hasn't all moved there yet.

So people are angry that GM builds cars at that ramos plant, so why do the GM fans always get on Ford's case for assembling the Fusion CD3 triplets there!? Even if Ford decides to build the next gen Focus there along with the existing CD3s and the announced Fiesta in Heramisillo, they will still produce more vehicles in the US and Canada for the NA market.

Crossovers in Canada
all Suvs, Trucks, and half of cars are from USA
all small and CD3 Cars coming from Mexico

Re: New GM-Moraine product 'remote' possibility

I have seen people post Lambda based minivan and SUT. I don't think this will happen. They have Springhill that can build more.
