 Platform mergers: scaled back, but still part of GM's planning for the 1990s - Technology & Trends Ward's Auto World - ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Only one full-blown platform merger is scheduled for GM cars during the next decade, and that one - which involves the company's L-, N- and J-body cars - is expected to be carried out over a three model-year period, 1992, '93 and '94.
GM now has both the flexible manufacturing techniques and methods needed at its stamping and assembly plants to tum out more distinguishable cars in the same line with a high degree of automation.
If GM had gone through with some of the platform consolidations that once were planned for the '90s, some confusion probably would have occurred.

 GM FastLane Blog: Myths and Facts about Fuel Economy
GM is intent on satisfying the needs of buyers: small cars to heavy duty trucks, fuel-sipping vehicles for urban rush hours to performance vehicles for an adrenaline rush.
We've already seen that GM aren't sitting on their behinds when it comes to researching alternative fuels (hydrogen & electricity) and as far as the current lineup of engines are concerned, technology such as Displacement on Demand is extending their long term viability and making the most of the resources we still have.
I know how capitalism works, and based on the fact that GM has gone from the point in the '60s where they would stop making cars to avoid anti-trust lawsuits (their market share would be too high) to the sub 30 percent point where they are today, GM understands this, too.

Through the 'GM or Death' aid policy it may be possible to force the poor to eat GM food but it still seems difficult to force poor nations to plant GM crops.

 Platform sharing lets automakers shave costs on different models   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Another mistake that car companies can make when sharing platforms is to completely dilute the heritage and flavor of a car line -- a practice that enrages a devout group of purists who have become devoted to a car line.
In fact, the platform sharing process can be done well, with experts pointing to Toyota and Nissan as leaders in the field.
Enthusiasts who value uniqueness in their automotive fare long for a day when all cars are built on their own platform with engines and components not shared across the board.

I just got off of the phone with a PR staffer from the General, who provided me with a little bit more detail, but by no means the full story, on the General's decision to put a "stop sale" on the GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook.
Dealers received an immediate stop-action communique over the weekend from the home office at the RenCen of the General's decision to immediately halt sales of the two models in its threesome of Lambda-platform CUV's already on the market, the GMC Acadia and the Saturn Outlook.
