The Outlook (nay, the Vue) for GM has an Ion-ic Aura of rebirth. The Sky is the limit for the new GM.

GM cannot simply get rid of a model, can they?
 
Actually, they get rid of TOO many models. Cavalier, Chevette, Aztek, Monte Carlo, Firebird, etc.
 
The problem is GM needs cars they DON'T get rid of, they just update. They get rid of names but keep the same cars in different sheet metal. They should update and improve the car rather than create new names. Names are dumped because the name has no or negative value to the consumer.

Not to worry. A mere Tempest in a teapot.

There is a Genesis occurring at GM, with an Accent on quality.
 
If only Hyundai would relocate its US HQ to Santa Fe, or perhaps Tucson ...

Isn't the world-famous Silverado ranch near Santa Fe. I know it's not the Mustang Ranch. Now that I think about it, the Silverado is by Tahoe.

I've never factored warranty coverage in how I chose a vehicle and I never will. If I like the vehicle and I'm worried about reliability, I'll just buy a longer warranty. I wouldn't buy a G6 if it had a million mile bumper to bumper warranty.

It's interesting what people consider important when car shopping. I wound up in an '89 Voyager because of a special 7/70 powertrain warranty at the time. And I got a Nissan instead of a Mercury a decade later and one reason was because the Quest drivetrain warranty was 5/50 instead the Villager's 3/36. Toyota and Honda minivan warranties were similar.
 
For a while, VWs had a 2/24 warranty and that was enough to strike them off my list without even visiting a dealer.
 
The New GM could make a splash by extending the drivetrain warranty like Hyundai did.
