And for that matter, let's look at the sedans GM was allegedly planning on killing next year (which again, for those who haven't heard yet, is a total crock of ****).

Cadillac CT6 - Full size sedan
Cadillac XTS - Full size sedan
Chevrolet Impala - Full size sedan
Buick LaCrosse - LWB mid size sedan
Chevrolet Sonic - Subcompact sedan/hatch
Chevrolet Volt - Compact hatch

3/6 are full size sedans, not midsize sedans, and the one midsize sedan is a pretty big midsize sedan. Nowhere has anyone mentioned GM killing off Malibu or Regal, in fact the only midsize sedan confirmed to be on the chopping block is CTS, and it's being replaced by another sedan.

So I'm not even sure why midsize sedans were brought up in the first place. If you want a good comparison between GM and the competition in this debate, look at the full size sedan segment. Practically everyone's talking about killing their offering or repositioning it. Ford is looking at axing Taurus, Hyundai has already confirmed Azera's death, FCA is shrinking Charger, Avalon hasn't been relevant in years, Nissan has a bit of a unique situation since Maxima is positioned as a sports sedan, but Altima still encroaches on its territory.

Hilariously enough, there are now a few people saying GM just needs to pull a W-body Impala with the new EpII model and just wait everyone else out. By that point the engineering and platform will have been paid for multiple times over and Impala would have the entire segment to itself, even if sales do end up being mostly fleet.
