In a move that will save the company $6 billion by the end of 2020, General Motors announced a restructuring Monday that includes chopping its workforce by 15% and shuttering five plants next year. 
  
 The country’s largest automaker also announced it would discontinue the production of some of its models, shifting away from slower-selling sedans in favor of cross-overs, pickup trucks and SUVs. The shift also will allow the company to focus on electric and autonomous vehicles. 
  
 The company is no stranger to reconstruction. In 2009, GM filed for bankruptcy and was bailed out by US and Canadian taxpayers. 
  
 Many of the models the company plans to discontinue were among the more than 200,000 US vehicles recalled a few months ago due to a soft, spongey brake pedals. 
  
 Americans will begin to see less of these vehicles next year, as production for each of these vehicles will take place throughout the year. 
  
 Chevrolet Volt 
  
 Hitting the US market in late 2010, the Chevy Volt is a plug-in hybrid that was one of the first mainstream cars of its type. The vehicle operates first on battery power and when the charge gets low enough, a gas engine kicks in. Over the years, however, sales languished and the company came out with a second generation Volt in 2014, adding a more powerful battery that can go further on a charge and improving acceleration, and resulting in a boost in sales. The company sold its 100,000th Volt in August 2016. 
  
 Chevrolet Cruze 
  
 Chevrolet’s Cruze is a compact sedan that has been in production since 2008. In its first few years, the car rivaled other mainstays in the field, including the Honda Civic. By 2015, it was Chevrolet’s best-selling car, selling 3.5 million in its seven-year existence. In that same year, the company announced a newer generation of the car, sending a press release out about the vehicle made entirely of emojis. 
  
 Chevrolet Impala 
  
 The large sedan Impala was first launched by Chevrolet in the 1950s, with its sales peaking in the 60s and gradual sales decline over the next few decades. The 2014 model was well received, becoming the first US-made sedan to top the Consumer Report ratings in 20 years. 
  
 Cadillac CT6 
  
 Announced in 2015 as its flagship sedan, the Cadillac CT6 is a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive luxury car and just earlier this year added a newer model, the CT6-V. The vehicle will be still be offered as expected 2019 and the vehicles will be sold until they run out, GM spokespeople told auto publication The Drive. 
  
 Cadillac XTS 
  
 Cadillac introduced the XTS, a full-size four-door sedan, in 2012, though recent sales have dwindled alongside falling sales of sedans. 
  
 Buick LaCrosse 
  
 First launching in 2004, the Buick LaCrosse is the brand’s larger-sized sedan. In 2010, the model was completely redesigned and doubled in sales, appealing to recession customers that would have otherwise gone to higher-end brands such as Lexus and Audi. ||||| In a move that will save the company $6 billion by the end of 2020, General Motors announced a restructuring Monday that includes chopping its workforce by 15% and shuttering five plants next year.

 North American customers want SUVs, crossovers, hatchbacks and trucks. Sedans have fallen out of favor. 
  
 As GM ( GM ) adjusts to changing customer behavior it is also planning ahead for the future. The company announced massive layoffs and is closing five North American facilities as it transitions to self-driving, electric cars of the future. 
  
 The soon-to-be closed plants mean GM will no longer make these cars: 
  
 Buick LaCrosse 
  
 January - September sales: 13,409, down 14.2% 
  
 The LaCrosse is a large car built by a brand that was a pioneer in small crossovers. Buick is still shifting heavily toward crossovers: Sales of the Encore and Enclave crossovers are both up this year. But Buick is struggling after turning itself around a few years ago. 
  
 Cadillac CT6 
  
 January - September sales: 7,270, down 10.6% 
  
 The only surprise of the bunch, the CT6 is an unusual choice for GM, because it serves as the tech halo for Cadillac. It's still the only car that has GM's Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving technology. But it's also the least popular Cadillac. 
  
 Cadillac XTS 
  
 January - September sales: 12,664, up 15.9% 
  
 Most XTS cars are sold to limousine and taxi companies. GM recently updated the XTS' design to keep customers happy, helping drive sales higher. It's the only car GM is killing that has performed better in the first nine months of 2018 than in the first nine months of 2017. 
  
 Chevrolet Cruze 
  
 January - September sales: 109,662, down 26.5% 
  
 The bestselling Chevy sedan, the Cruze is highly regarded among auto reviewers and enthusiasts. The Cruze was the "Consumer Reports" top pick for compact cars last year. It was beat out by the Toyota Corolla and a handful of other small cars this year, and sales have disappointed. 
  
 Chevrolet Impala 
  
 January - September sales: 43,952, down 13.4% 
  
 The recently redesigned Chevy Impala was the 2018 "Consumer Reports" top pick for large cars. But it's a large car in a market that seems to have forgotten that large cars exist. The Impala is among the worst-selling Chevrolets. 
  
 Chevrolet Volt 
  
 January - September sales: 13,243, down 13.7% 
  
 The Volt is a plug-in electric hybrid sedan lost in the excitement of all-electric cars. Chevy has been promoting the electric Bolt hatchback, though Bolt sales have fallen too. |||||
A:
Now that General Motors' big announcement that it will be shuttering five plants in North America and slashing thousands of jobs has started to settle in, more details are emerging on the vehicle production that will be affected. Included in the business restructuring is a shift away from sedans, which haven't been selling well, and toward SUVs, pickup trucks, electric cars, and hybrids. At the top of the discontinuation list, per Fortune and CNN, is the Chevy Volt, a plug-in electric hybrid sedan that has seen lagging sales of late. Five other sedans that, like the Volt, will cease production by the end of next year: the Chevy Cruze, a GM best-seller that was once the subject of a press release entirely in emoji; the Chevy Impala, among GM's worst sellers, despite being a Consumer Reports top pick; the Cadillac CT6, which CNN calls "the only surprise of the bunch," as it "serves as the tech halo for Cadillac" (though it's the Caddy that sells the least); the Cadillac XTS, a four-door sedan typically sold to taxi and limo firms; and the Buick LaCrosse, launched in 2004. (See which plants are affected.)
