GM would turn the other "SUV" automakers into car makers within a year. What about a minivan with a V-6 that gets 35 mpg like the ones in Europe? I'd buy one of each to go with my fleet of Diesel Savanna's I have at work. No wonder they went bankrupt. They went to the trouble and expense of designing, and testing it and now they simply won't manufacturer it or put it in a vehicle. Imagine a SUV like the Yukon or Traverse that gets 30 mpg hwy.

Delaying a ground breaking engine with great fuel mileage? That sounds like a great way to let the competition catch up and beat you to market. I'm sure glad us taxpayers are paying some executive millions to make these great decisions. This kind of backwards thinking is what got GM into trouble in first place.

Ahaha, I would delay as well with the financial situation they are in. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra aren't just any truck, they are one of the best. I agree that they should wait. Perfect it first, then bring em out! EB Hmm, what a surprise! Ahaha, I would delay as well with the financial situation they are in.
