The online version, even when you click "Print Version" doesn't give the full story as appeared in the actual paper.
It shows a picture of the 9-5 Sedan and says that it has "too few amenities for a car in the $35,000 range" whatever that means. I tend to disagree. It went on to say that "the Luxury market is too competitive to keep soldiering for so long with the same model" without giving it more than just a facelift every few years. 2008 is too late for a new model according to them.
My thoughts are that GM just has too many makes and WAY TOO MANY models - 62!!! Ford only has about 45 and Toyota has a mere 31!
