Not unexpected. At least they're on the right track with their product renaissance. But it will take time for consumers to catch up. A lot of public goodwill towards American automakers has been squandered over the past 25 years.

I'm not sure I agree. Some of their new products are sputtering. The Aura is tanking right out of the box. They have something like a 125-day supply on hand. Last years media darling, the Solstice is down by over 40% so far this year (the Miata, which was supposed to get squashed by the Solstice, handily outsold it in March). The F-series missed outselling the much newer and (allegedly) much better Chevy/GMC twins combined sales by only 649 units in spite of a being a four year old design. None of GM's new crossovers are even close in sales to the Edge/MKX.

Forthcoming vehicles to watch >>
- Buick Enclave
- Chevrolet Malibu
- Chevrolet Camaro
- Pontiac G8
- Cadillac CTS
If those vehicles see lackluster sales, then I would say GM's product-driven turnaround is a failure. But I think it's far too early to call the ball on them yet.
The CTS is particularly impressive. I had a good look at it at the Vancouver Auto Show last weekend, and I have to say, fit & finish were Lexus level. It really looks terrific. The V version ought to be something special. I had actually contemplated waiting for it for a time, but my budget just won't support it.

The funny thing is that Saturn's sales are listed as up, but the Sky's doing nothing and the Aura's going down in flames. They're up just becuase it couldn't get worse than last year.
