As much as I love GM, they have done this to themselves. While Toyota was busy producing cars like the Prius, Corolla and Camry, GM was investing all their money into their large trucks and SUV's. Yes GM has the Yukon/Tahoe Hybrid, sales have been slow so far and that money should have been invested into the Malibu/Aura as a holdover until the Volt comes out in 2010/2011. Those cars use a very uneffective hybird system which nets a 1-2MPG advantage over their standard gasoline counterparts. Not exactly a grand slam.

I hope GM is able to pull themselves out of this rut. They really make some great cars. But for every good car, there are 2 or 3 that are mediocre at best.
