The US doesn't want American made sedans...we want big trucks, fast sports cars, SUV's & crossovers. GM didn't have much choice & better to make these moves now vs saving everybody's job, continue to loose $$$$ & get the tax payer to bail GM out again & the process starts all over.
My understanding is all the plants affected are tooled for sedans.

There's not a lack of demand for new trucks, there's a lack of demand for $75K trucks. Bring back the base model work trucks with a towing pks and a little trim and trhey'd start selling some trucks.
Cuts like they're making today says GM and their unions will need another bail-out in two or three years.

I am driving my 2007 Tacoma into the freaken ground..I just can't see myself paying the cost of these new trucks. Plus I am worried that the new trucks are made with so much computer tech in them that it would be **** near impossible to repair something if it breaks. Screw comfort and luxury...just make a dang truck that gets a person from A to B and back every day.

You would prefer them to keep hemorrhaging money with a **** poor business plan? Seems like they are planning for the future, and the market responded to the moves well.
The company, which is shifting its focus to electric and autonomous vehicles, has been cutting jobs to deal with plunging car sales in North America and has been debating for months how to address shrinking car demand.
