> The problem is that GM has dumped far too many funds into their SUV platforms over the last 8-10 years. The market for SUV’s (especially full size) has been waning pretty greatly over the last 3-5.

From the article I posted…

> GM’s newly redesigned full-size SUVs like the Tahoe have been big sellers this spring despite rising gas prices. In the first four months of this year, Tahoe sales were up 36 percent.
