General Motors recently announced the massive layoffs of her workers and will also be shutting down five North American facilities. One of the reasons for the shutdown is that North Americans want trucks, hatchbacks and SUVs, and not just sedans. Sedans please them no more and GM is responding to the changes in customer behaviour.

This customer behaviour is very evident in the sales record of these sedans; their sales are very poor. GM is therefore planning for a global re-organization of their business, hence the recent development.

The soon-to-be-closed facilities will end the production of these 6 sedans by the end of 2019.


1. Chevrolet Cruze:

Out of the 6 cars that GM plans to stop producing, this is the car that can be commonly seen in Nigeria when compared to the rest. The car has been in production since 2008. In the whole of North America, Mexico was the country to receive the car.



2. Cadillac CT6:

This a full-size luxury car manufactured by Cadillac. The North Americans don’t buy much of it again; hence GM wants to give up the production.



3. Cadillac XTS:

The Cadillac XTS (X-Series Touring Sedan) is a full-size luxury sedan from Cadillac. It is based on an enlarged version of the Epsilon II platform. The production began in May 2012. Sad it’s ending so soon.



4. Buick LaCrosse:

This car right here has been in production since the year 2004. The car won’t live to see its 4th generation; production will end in the present third generation.



5. Chevrolet Impala:

The Chevrolet Impala at a time was the most expensive passenger model in Chevy’s lineup. It once bagged the best-selling Automobile in the United States. The first production was in 1958 and it lived to see ten generations.



6. Chevrolet Volt:

The Chevy Volt is a plug-in hybrid car manufactured by GM. The production started in 2010 and it’s to end by 2019. 9 years well spent.

I saw it on CNN this morning that the company is closing down 6 plants and will sack over 14,700 workers. Donald trump is busy shouting MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and thousands are loosing jobs. Tesla is the best selling luxury car in USA today and it's also a sedan. They should stop giving excuses about Americans not buying sedans.

How that one take concern me...

If want you meant by 'global community' is Americans, then then the answer is Yes.

That is where the core of the demand is and suppliers have to listen to the region or demography that is core to their supply chain.

Kilode? Wetin dey do them? Chevrolet offend them ni?

General Motors is a company shutting down number of plants because of obvious reasons.
The government of Nigeria should explain reasons for job loss in Nigeria if Trump have questions to answer.

what has this got to do with trump? Gm and ford cars have been trash since time immemorial.all they spend the year doing so recall and recall. At no point in time was their cars even reliable at all so there's a difference between Etisalat the best company leaving Nigeria and a crappy coy shutting down. If anything trump should be given credit

An Hausa man helped to produce the artistic design of Chevrolet Volt. His name is Aliyu, I think.

This will clearly obscure his name.

I don't think this truly have anything to do with Trump, there is nothing Trump can do, except maybe put heavy taxes on gas to make it better.

This is a pure testament to the Average American. They love big things! Big houses, big cars, big truck, etc....Those are their choices by default, they only stray away from these defaults if pressed economically.

Gas has been very cheap at the pump, hence they are going for the big truck, if you listen to the news; oil has been dirt-cheap for the past years. If tomorrow the price of gas goes up or the cost of oil goes up, the demands for trucks by Americans will node-dive and you will start hearing GM closing truck manufacturing plants to open new car manufacturing plants.

So, this is not really a trend, it is just a temporary feel-good response to the momentary economic realities.

Okay.
