For instance, the now defunct Caprice most likely used many parts that a Chevy/GM 1/2 ton PU used. In turn, it was sold as a police car and a fleet car. If there's so much profit in trucks, why not Caprices?
I don't know, but I'd be looking into that.
I don't want to end up thinking my local GM dealer is simply a repair station for a Hyundai. Or worse, that Isuzu debacle they were involved with. If they can't sell the sizzle, then there's no point in serving either hot dogs or steaks.

.....and your mindset is very California.
GM's GMT truck platform still sells several hundred thousand units each year, and at a profit.
Maybe the Volt will excite you.
