GM Killing Off These Vehicles In New Cost-Cutting Plan

DETROIT, MI — General Motors is discontinuing multiple passenger cars, they announced Monday amidst several cost-cutting moves that will shutter three Michigan plants and layoff thousands of workers.

The automaker will reportedly no longer make the Volt semi-electric car and the Cruze compact sedan for sale in North America starting in March.

GM will also discontinue the Chevrolet Impala full-size car. It will end U.S. production in March, too, and Canadian production in the fourth quarter of 2019, according to reports.
The company will also end U.S. sales of the Cadillac XTS and Buick LaCrosse after production ends in March. Then the Cadillac CT6 will be killed off in the U.S. after mid-2019, though it will continue to be sold in China, the Detroit Free Press reported.

All of the plans are expected to save the company $6 billion.
