From that article: The “hardest hit” cars, General Motors said in comments submitted to the Commerce Department, are likely to be the ones bought by consumers who can least afford an increase. Demand would suffer and production would slow, all of which “could lead to a smaller G.M.”

they cut the cars that aren’t selling. if you have evidence that the reason they aren’t selling, is Trumps tariffs, how come you won’t share it?? Where is the evidence that the Impala isnt selling, because the tariffs made it too expensive? they also cut the Chevy Volt. Are poor people
buying the Volt? I doubt that very much.

You’re making it up.

The article was what “could”
happen, not what did happen.

they also cut the cadillac CT6 andnthe cadillac XTS. are these cars that poor people are buying?

What kind of "evidence" do you need
Do you think "poor" people are the bottom of their market?
Poor people don't buy cars, middle class people do and as car prices go up they price them out of the new car market.
Are you telling me the Volt, Cruze and Impala are high end cars?

The Silverado is a popular high selling middle class auto which is not being discontinued. The volt is not popular and Cadillacs straddle upper middle to "high end" status. And Cadillacs are not being discontinued, only two models are. It's mostly the lower end less selling models being cut.
