GMC is the most profitable brand at General Motors!

How do you care to back up your argument that GM should kill it's most profitable brand?

This goes with what we've read about the Auto Task Force's findings. They went to Detroit assuming that GMC would be killed but immediately changed their minds when they saw the figures.

There is a new full-size sedan coming they referred to as the XTS that replaces the STS and DTS. It is a FWD car that will offer AWD as an option. I’m told it’s based on the Lamda platform, the same as the Enclave, Acadia, and Traverse. It is a big sedan with a very bold front end, sweeping side lines, a DLO outlined with thick brushed metal, and sail panels that sweep deep back onto the trunk. The vertical tail lamps stand up and away from the body in such a way that they almost form small tailfins.

Anyone remember Chi? The passenger car version of Lambda?

I personally believe it is on large EPSII, though.

I do, but this is a contradictory statement. Personally I'd prefer it to be on the Lambda platform vs. Epsilon II.

I think if anything "people" have wondered why Chevrolet is still in the truck business.

Not me, just "people"

Because this isn't France?

I hope GMC stays and continues to thrive....there's so much yet to explore, and I mean with trucks and far different styling/equipment practices from Chevy, but with trucks, not car-based (Terrain/Acadia/etc.) products....

While I'm not a fan of keeping GMC, the numbers speak for themselves. The problem of both Chevrolet and GMC offering essentially the same vehicles remains. That needs to be eliminated as soon as possible. The next generation GMC vehicles not only have to look unique, but be unique. The brand should offer something that no other brand within the GM family offers.

With gas prices expected to rise dramatically when the economy improves, GM should look to phase out either the Tahoe or the Yukon or at least move one of them on a different platform. The same goes with the Suburban and the Yukon XL. Since GMC is doing so well, it would seem more likely that Chevrolet would cut it's models and focus more on crossovers.
