Sorry, I disagree with you on that one Eric.

My uncle had a GMC franchise along with the Cadillac, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac Franchises.
Sold a bunch of every one of those vehicles.

A lot of the customers refused to buy from the Chevrolet guy because he was not a nice person, simply put.
They would drive to another town to buy that brand vs deal with the guy.

I was always told the Chevrolet Brand was the entry level brand and the Pontiac was THE
brand right under the top of the line Cadillac vehicles.

"GMC that primarily focuses on trucks and utility vehicles. GMC currently makes SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, and light-duty trucks, catered to a premium-based market. In the past, GMC also produced fire trucks, ambulances, heavy-duty trucks, military vehicles, motorhomes, transit buses, and medium duty trucks."

I personally have not seen any Chevrolet fire trucks, ambulances, heavy-duty trucks, military vehicles, motorhomes, or transit buses, but they may be out there.

So I agree with the representation that GM has a bunch of sales markets above
that that Chevrolet cannot support or does not want to support.

GM WHQ wants to sell as many vehicles as they can, GMC helps with that desire.
