They also need to replace the Caliber with something lighter and more efficient. And they need to work more on their dreadful interiors.

I agree with the Fiesta saving Ford NA...that car looks like the home run small car they need to start selling here. The S-Max would also help Ford out here quite a bit. And they could use a car that slots in between the Focus and the Fusion in terms of size.

The Camaro surely generates excitement for GM, but I'm not sure it's a company-saving car. The Volt will go a long way towards helping, but as FenwickHockey65 said, the Cruze is probably more worthy of being on the list. They also need a much more competent car to replace the Aveo, something to slot between the Cruze and the new Malibu, and to better manage and define each division's role in the company.
the aveo is a pos, I don't think they even need to replace it. It doesn't have much direct competetion and still nobody buys it. And something to go between the Cruze and the Malibu, I just don't think there is enough room. As for defining the brands, I agree 100%. I say drop every eco-trim Pontiac and drop every sporty Saturn. And get rid of every Cadillac SUV: GMC Denali's fill that role nicely. Its not much but its a start.
