Not as nice as the departing sedan. I guess it'll be a hatchback for me.

@EChid: I don't know why car-makers refuse to offer certain things that people would actually want. Brown diesel wagons? I can understand that. But other things seem to be straight up corporate laziness/aggressive beancounting. We can't offer this because it would cost money/require more work than just ignoring the consumers and all that.

  I would be interested to see what would happen if one manufacturer were to only offer a liftback format designed to look as much like a sedan as possible. Would sales be affected? Would people happily convert after having that "aww wow, that makes so much more sense" moment? Unfortunately, no one wants to take that risk (except Mazda with the original 6).

Calrson Fan Jeff - Agree with what you said. I think currently an EV pick-up could work in a commercial/fleet application. As someone on this site stated, w/current tech. battery vehicles just do not scale well. EBFlex - No one wanted to hate the Cyber Truck more than me but I can't ignore all the new technology and innovative thinking that went into it. There is a lot I like about it. GM, Ford & Ram should incorporate some it's design cues into their ICE trucks.
Michael S6 Very confusing if the move is permanent or temporary.
Jrhurren Worked in Detroit 18 years, live 20 minutes away. Ren Cen is a gem, but a very terrible design inside. I’m surprised GM stuck it out as long as they did there.
Carson D I thought that this was going to be a comparison of BFGoodrich's different truck tires.
Tassos Jong-iL North Korea is saving pokemon cards and amibos to buy GM in 10 years, we hope.
