I can see GM doing well with the new mid size trucks especially with the diesel version, Good job GM.
I agree that GM did very good with the full size truck sales, but not sure I agree with the midsize truck sales numbers as being very good. My concern with these trucks is that the profit margins are slim, but I suppose it helps the bottom line meeting the upcoming CAFE fuel economy requirements.
Dennis Dillon, Dave Smith, WalMart and Costco also operate on slim profit margins.
I bet they are in trouble too and about ready to go under. :B
Yes but they don't have to support R&D, Design Centers, Engineers, Unions/Union demands, training, Robotics and Mfg/Eng's, Factory's, EPA testing, CAFE regulations, Crash test standards, track defect trends, support continuous improvements, advance new technology, Mid life Redesign refresh, Cash reserves to cover recalls, Quality Department, Internal and supplier audits, OSHA, Internal Safety standards and audits, Lean Mfg, Kaizen's, 5S, Law Suits from everyone, etc....etc...
The auto manufactures carry a big liability on they're shoulder's and it requires big money to keep them afloat... GM and Chrysler know all about those don't they! :W
