CEO Mary Barra Says Discipline Is The Key To A Healthy GM Not Market Share

If 2016 ended today, General Motors' U.S. market share would be at a 95-year low. Executives concede it might fall further in 2017.

The record profits GM is generating now in the face of that decline explain why.

Discipline, without sales, can lead to financial losses. Losses can lead to bankruptcy. Bankruptcy can lead to bailouts.

Yeah, I guess that can work, too.

Indeed. Cadillac's discipline is spotty.

Cadillac needs an exorcism.

Cadillac WAS planning a CLA fighter and that got axed for a future small crossover. I suppose that's discipline.

But...the Cadillac Equinox oops XT5 was too far along to make it truly a Cadillac and so you have a nice near-premium crossover demanding premium pricing that no one will pay. STEEP discounts.

The CT6 is another "wrong sized" sedan that is selling with steep discounts.

The Cadillac Traverse oops the XT7 has been postponed so as to make it more of a Cadillac, so I suppose that discipline.
