If GM ever does die, I hope Ford buys the corvette brand and slaps a 3.7 twin turbo in it.

This thread was dying peacefully...I don't see why you had to go and ruin it with your existence.

Agreed. As long as they can continue to make a profit better cars will follow, hopefully.

For 2011 The Cruze had very strong number in the small car segment.

Corolla/Matrix - 240,259

Cruze/Cobalt - 232,588

Civic - 221,235

Elantra - 186,361

Jetta - 177,360

Focus - 175,717

The Sonic/Aveo had pretty decent numbers as well. I don't feel like posting them, but here's the link.

FWIW, GM hasn't made a small car in either of these segments that was nearly this competitive in sales and quality since...well, ever.
