They want to please their shareholders, and currently, the majority of shareholders believe "green" is the way to go. Most shareholders are the dumbest people you can meet who have no instincts and go by what a piece of paper tells them. Them along with the execs at GM got diplomas up the wazzoo that only proves they've partied through university more than the average joe.

The funny thing is, they've dumped so much time and money into this "review" that the HX could have been well under way to a production unit that could potentially save the brand if properly done.

True, pretty much all offroad brands are losing money. Even Toyota recently announced that the FJ Cruiser update has been cancelled and it'll run its life and then get the axe.
