I bought a Suburban in 2003 for $42,000. It is worth $15,000 or so today. The cost per mile to drive a GM product taking into account fuel, depreciation and maintenance is 2X what it costs to drive a Honda Pilot.
I'll not be buying anymore big iron from GM.
I think that Ford and GM could make vehicles like the Hondas and Toyotas. The problem is that their operations are so vast that they can't make a profit if they sell 15 million $10,000 vehicles. They've got to sell expensive vehicles, and you can't do that unless you sell big gas guzzling vehicles, so that is the segment they've focused on. Merge the two companies together, shut down about 2/3 of their factories, and then they'll be able to compete with Honda for that segment of the market.
Kelley Blue Book shows it from $18-21K.
