Building too many cars only to unload a glut of them at unfavorable prices is no way to run a business.
As a GM stockholder (thankfully, not many shares) I applaud the company's efforts to build what they expect to sell at a profit.
By the way, it seems that GM is FINALLY offering some really competitive vehicles now: Caddy CTS, Chevy Malibu, Saturn Aura, and Buick Enclave are examples. The upcoming Saturn Astra and Pontiac G8 will add to GM's list of winners.
GM already has excellent Chevy/GMC SUVs and trucks if you need a 5000+ pound vehicle or just enjoy burning lots of gas to look butch.

Agreed, its good to see all the American vendors getting a hold on their products, GM especially. It does suck for UAW/CAW workers, but the fact of the matter is, until our countries start buying into our own products again, the scale needs to come back down to earth - or these companies will just die.
GM has the most impressive portfolio so far this/next year. Ford is doing a good job, but until they start getting out of the red we probably won't see too many new refreshes. I've said it before, I love my Mopar vehicles, but they really need to start focusing on on their interiors - otherwise they make solid, affordable vehicles -regardless of fanboys and editors not liking some of their vanilla cars because they're not sports cars.
