After filling for bankruptcy earlier this month GM announced in a small press release today that it will stop producing the Chevy Kodiak and GMC Topkick by July 31 2009. The decision to terminate the Chevy Kodiak and GMC Topkick and wind-down its medium duty truk operations was taken after the company has failed in finding a buyer for the above mentioned division. In a market seeking smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles we cannot say this news has taken us by surprise.
