I suppose that GM (and the other US automakers) have just switched to a different business model. Instead of simply building ^ selling cars & trucks, they use the uber-expensive trucks and SUVs to get the gullible hooked on 8 year loans. Then when the buyers want a new vehicle after say 5 years, and are under water on the first loan, the friendly dealer financing arm just rolls that into the new loan... And pretty soon they all owe their soul to GMAC :-)
I should rephrase, nobody wants an expensive small car.
