I wonder, why not create a new electric only division and leave the others alone? It's because you have leaders in GM that have become closed minded, electric vehicles only, end of discussion. I strongly believe that in 10 to 15 years from now GM will go through it's second and final bankruptcy. It will be the end for GM.

Since the mid-1960s when I started driving, I always had a manual transmission, until, after a 13 year period from the late 1980s to about 2001 when I didn't have a car, I started with automatics, at first for convenience and cost, and then scarcity Plus the top automatics now do a better job than manual and most of the sports sedans and sports car automatics have paddle shifters you can simulate manual with.

Even though for 4 years, I worked on the assembly line building Hydramatic 400s I have NEVER liked any automatic. I never liked the way they drive and have had AT failures of them from ALL of the Big 3. Manuals? Yeah, I have worn out some and have had to replace a clutch or 2, but could always perform transplants on my driveway. ATs? Good luck finding somebody who can do that for under $1000.00.

Every vehicle manufacturer has made an ugly car or 2 or more and ALL have had recalls. Audi was notorious for their poor quality in the late 70s. We had a recall on one of our Mercedes-Benz suvs, brake booster seal. For the most part I say buy whatever tickles your fancy. I will say I'm warming up to Cadillac. The Escalade ESV V makes my panties moist.
