Instead of listening to insane communist government bureaucrats, they should have been listening to their customers.

I see the Equinox and Trail Blazer everywhere! They get high marks in Car and Diver etc. I’m not a fan of the 2 tone interior or I would’ve bought one. Got an RDX instead!

GM is a clown show. I lost all respect for GM in 2008 when they claimed that problems with Impalas were the fault of the “old” GM and the “new” restructured GM wouldn’t help.

“The commercial electric van market has been developing much slower than expected...”

I notice the large UPS delivery trucks are powered by natural gas. When you’re building for commercial fleet sales you assume a lot of financial risk. If a company like UPS decides that they aren’t interested in your EV offering, then you get ZERO sales. You’re left trying to piece together enough smaller customers to keep your assembly line running.

I wonder why CEO Mary Barra still has a job? She has been a disaster for GM.

Someone in a previous unrelated thread pointed out a new term that applies here:

Reality will occur.

The Biden Admin must have did something to get car makers to make the EV crap

Ford needs to do the same thing. Bring back the ICE Taureses and Escorts. Make a 5 speed manual Escort. They will fly out of the showrooms. The Taureses obviously for fleets.

At a recent doctor’s appointment the subject of Chevrolet came up...

All involved described the brand using words I can’t use here.

If they were to convert all those unsold EVs to hybrids, they’d probably sell like hotcakes.

What was an artificially driven environment based on tax breaks can become a more natural one based on demand.

With gas prices coming back down to lowest national average since too long ago, good luck with that.

“GM has decided to stop making the Chevrolet BrightDrop electric commercial van”

Surprising, since commercial vans often run limited daily routes and recharging overnight should provide reliable energy for the next day.

They’re only making Equinox/Terrains in a 4 cyl. Bring back a V6 at least?

So electric vehicles were merely large golf carts after all.

LOL!

They ought to keep making the Malibu but they won’t because they are that dumb.

They should bring back the Buick Regal, Century, Park Ave line of cars with the 3.8. Use the original blue prints and designs. No EPS. Then they would pick up some customers.

I CANNOT IMAGINE USING AN EV VAN FOR A BUSINESS THAT MAKES ALOT OF DELIVERIES ALL OVER THE LOCAL AREA:

FLOWERSHOP-—AUTO PARTS STORES, ETC.
