    Blame the consumers for not buying GM Lordstown vehicles.

    I see plenty of Cruzes (and Cobalts) running around. At the same time everyone is into this crossover/SUV binge . The GM ignition lock recall fiasco didn’t help things any either, since most of the vehicles involved were Chevy Cobalts. The final nail in the coffin was when the CAFE regulations were lifted. That basically removed any reason for GM(and Ford) to invest/produce compact or midsize cars any further(Ford’s Torrence Ave. assembly plant in Chicago just cranked out the last Taurus last week).

    what's even funnier, is that many cars, and SUV's, are built on the same platforms...meaning, some problems, carry over to a whole new generation of vehicles......lol
