That was probably true for passenger cars but was not my experience with trucks.
Through no fault (or planning) of our own we rode a wave of prosperity and growth up through the early 2000's. My theory is that as passenger cars got physically smaller (and less capable/durable) trucks and truck wagons moved in to fill the void.
Profitable truck products bankrolled all of GM up until the unpleasantness of 2008.
