GM hasnt made a real compact car since the first years of the Jbody.
Even the Cobalt, while decent, became outclassed in less then a model year.
My comment is referring to the current administration not wanting gas guzzlers so the trucks/SUV's will be cut back big time. When Honda, Toyota and Nissan all got into the full size truck and SUV market it was a pretty obvious sign that people were living beyond their means and the automakers kept building bigger, less efficient, more expensive vehicles. The S10 pickup and SUV were the right size but of course they had to go up to the next size. All the manufacturers need to downsize their vehicles and the american public needs to start losing weight so they can fit in normal size vehicles!
