Yeah, I read something very similar about GM the other day but I can't remember where... Sunday paper maybe? It does make sense. Today GM offers about a zillion different models, each overlapping the other too much. Remember in the old days each brand only offered a couple of models and each model offered two or three trim levels. That was it. I was looking at some little convertibles at the Chicago Auto Show for the wife. (remember, if Momma ain't happy, nobody's happy!) While the Solstice looks like a fun little car the top is "extra GM cheap" IMO - complete with Velcro to hold the back panels on. Oh yeah, look at one with the top up. Pure crap. Same money gets one into a very similar Mazda model (forget which) with a real top. Hmmmm... wonder which one I'll buy? GM's lost. They don't seem to understand what people want. IMO their products, at least the ones us working folks can afford, are poorly built relative to the rest of the market.
