Which of these automobile brands is not manufactured by General Motors: Buick, Chevrolet, Saturn or GMC? This is a bit tricky. The answer is Saturn. It used to be part of G.M. but it was shutdown in 2010.
The last Chevy Cruze has rolled off the line in a G.M. plant in Lordstown, Ohio. It's a community located between Cleveland and Pittsburgh and its economy benefited from having a General Motors plant there. But the company closed the factory this week. Its CEO says Americans aren't buying as many sedans like the Cruze. So G.M., like other U.S. car companies, is shifting toward making more trucks and SUVs, which are also more profitable.
The landscape for American autoworkers has been changing for decades. There's been increased competition from Japanese carmakers. Some U.S. companies have outsourced jobs to Mexico. Whether G.M. will use its Lordstown facility to make another vehicle or give it up all together is a highly important question for both the workers and the local economy itself.
