I’m just glad by the time I buy this will all be sorted out one way or another. Hopefully they will succeed and the government will be able to sell its share and come close to breaking even. I hope they have a lot of good product coming in the next few years because what I see now and what’s coming in the next year will not make them profitable.
Buick and Cadillac sell very few cars. The Enclave is OK but it’s not a big seller the other two models don’t sell well. Cadillac has the CTS which is a good car but what else(the CTS-V is great but very niche)? The cash cow Escalade doesn’t sell anymore and the STS is crap along with the XLR. The CTS sportwagon will be niche as wagons still don’t sell really well in the U.S. The new SRX should sell reasonably well but again nothing special; so one brand with little to no sales at all and one that will sell a few. Next up GMC which are rebranded Chevy’s, again what’s the purpose here? Lastly Chevy, it’s in the best shape but still not great. Performance is good, Corvette and now Camaro, also the Malibu is finally competitive. There are the Chevy trucks which do well and the Traverse; and that’s about it. Upcoming is the Cruze and Volt although the Volt won’t make any money although it makes a nice Halo vehicle.
So what maybe 8 vehicles between 4 brands, how are they supposed to be profitable with that? If it was just Chevy with 8 competitive vehicles then I’d say it sounds good but there are four brands here to support.
