SERWIN + 749 SE November 28, 2018 The biggest reason though is that the car manufacturers are saying that they do not make much money on smaller cars, they are switching over to SUV's that bring a bigger profit margin. They also use more fuel compared to the small cars, so keep on buying those SUV's America!!! Gotta love the logic that says we have to have an SUV but we bitch about the cost of fuel for them, not very bright, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GM says these closures are about SUVs/trucks and EVs as they plan investment in both for their future. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-gm-restructuring-idUSKCN1NV1NB The writing is on the wall and they see that. https://insideevs.com/rivian-r1t-electric-pickup-truck-world-debut/ Toyota, Honda, BMW, VW,... are asleep at the wheel. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
