In what sounded very much like a call to arms, Grimaldi said, "We're going to grow our market share, first with trucks and then with cars. When we dipped below 30 percent, we said 'No more.' We're capable of growing market share. We're targeting to be north of 30 percent for the calendar year and we're not looking back. We're going to continue to push forward."
And Grimaldi means market share in used cars and non-warranty service work as well as in new cars.
Without any specifics from Grimaldi, it's hard to say which vehicles we might not be getting in a couple of years, either from the existing lineup or from future GM offerings, and it's probably irresponsible to speculate.
All Grimaldi would say is that he expects GM of Canada to have a strong car lineup from Chevrolet to Cadillac.
It must also be remembered that a lot of the profitability in the car business comes from light trucks and expensive cars, so we can probably expect to keep seeing a full selection of GM product. It's unlikely, in other words, that GM of Canada will drop too many models out of its lineup.
