GM used to produce the GMC Sonoma and its Chevrolet equivalent, a small pickup that sold in large numbers.
They stopped in favor of the large pickups with a higher profit margin.
Now you can’t buy a small pickup anywhere.
That’s what happens when businesses are run by MBAs and lawyers, rather than auto men.
This comes at a bad time for Government Motors, I’m sure they were relying on the high profit margins from truck sales to offset the $5,000 price cut from the Chevy Volt.
I smell Ubama in there somewhere.
Didn’t Ford do the same thing with the small size Ranger?
Bought a used 1987 chevy S-10 back in 1992, ran so well I bought a gmc sierra to replace it with. Was about to buy another gm product until jug ears got involved with em. Wife had a pontiac and has a 2003 gmc suv now. I probably wont ever buy another gm product because they got in bed with zero. Too many other choices out there.
Yep, the worst business decision GM ever made was ending its S-10 line. I have a 2002 S-10 pick-up truck with over 200,000 miles on its, and will hold on to it until its falls apart from rust sometime in the distant future.
The small truck line is dead, killed by CAFE standards.
The last holdout the Ford Ranger is no longer for sale either.
I admit I’m sort of out of the loop on this sort of thing, but doesn’t GM still offer the Colorado/Canyon twins?
