According to a
Time.com report, the "General" is surrendering 4 SUV and truck plants around the U.S, Canada, and Mexico. Fuel prices and other economic factors have forced a shift in customer buying patterns. The good news is that smaller vehicles are becoming more and more popular.
Vehicles such as the Chevy Suburban just aren't selling these days
Now for the bad news. More manufacturing jobs leave already strapped locales like Ohio, Wisconsin, and Oshawa, Ontario. 10,000 jobs out the door. No plans to make any other vehicles at these plants are planned. Mothballs are on order. Rumor has it that the Hummer brand is even getting the axe.
The (delayed) focus is now on the "small car", with a plan for a mid-priced, 45 MPG vehicle to bolster the lineup. But when, and where built? Likely, not anywhere close to here or now.
