GM Large Trucks - Engineers Reassigned

[Ahnuld]

We've discussed in multiple threads... but just more evidence the big fat truck/suv and muscle cars are gone forever...
"Engineers who had been assigned to overhaul such models as the Chevrolet Tahoe SUV and Silverado pickup for 2012 are being transferred to other projects, Tom Pyden, a spokesman for Detroit-based GM, said late yesterday."

well.... gone at least untill a truly viable alternative energy source appears!

GM Facing What Could Be Biggest Challenge Ever - Behind the Wheel - Phil Lebeau - MSNBC.com

What was shaping up to be a tough summer for GM has rapidly worsened and become a major gut-check for GM, its investors, and fans of the American automaker.
Which brings up the most frequently asked question I get from readers and viewers: can GM successfully shift gears from trucks to cars?

The good news: GM's designers, engineers, and execs have the will and ability to roll out winning cars. Look at the new Chevy Malibu, Cadillac CTS, Saturn Aura, or recent Pontiac offerings. They are every bit as good as the competition. On top of that, the cars in GM's pipeline including the Chevy Camaro should do well.
