The government essentially instructed GM to SHUT DOWN the GMC Division last week because it doesn’t meet CAFE standards and has no hope of doing so because it makes trucks and SUVs. I’ll bet the GMC dealers are ecstatic about that order from Obama.
The dirty little secret is that, with a few exceptions, the SUVs cover the costs of the passenger cars. GM loses $$ on most passenger cars they sell. With UAW labor, the margins just aren’t there.
