It does now, presumably. (I'll take your word on it.) But did it have a high profit margin in the first few years of production, when GM was selling just a few hundred a year? Or was GM deliberately taking a loss for the first few years on a product that they believed would eventually become profitable? (And which was presumably good marketing, etc.)
That's part of the problem, not just with GM but with a lot of the US economy today: too many people who're convinced that anything which isn't an immediate success must be a dismal failure.
