If the Zeta program is dead, that means the new Camaro/GTO is pretty much dead. Boy those guys at GM are idiots....

It has nothing to do with hands on, health costs, materials...or any of the other bullsh!t.

It has to do with GM doesn't make anything other than pickup trucks and corvettes. What the hell else does the company make? We have a ton of $50k plus caddies that have just STARTED to get attention. We have the Corvette that people still associate with Chevy and think that its cheap no matter how fast it goes. Then we have 1000000000 different pickups, SUVs and small SUVs. What do they make for anyone in their 20s and 30s thats fun to drive? You either buy a Corvette or a pickup, and not everyone right out of high school or college can go get a corvette. So then what? The GTO is almost a joke, sure isn't as good as everyone orginally wrote it up to be. What else is there? They have nothing to compete with the Mustang, nothing to compete with the Miatas ( I know the Solestis..but it isn't out yet), and what about just every day transportation? Hell what about against the 300C? But by god you can get FWD, AWD, RWD, big, small, medium, convertible, 2 door, 4 door, 5 door truck.

Fact of the matter is...GM just didn't think about its vechical line up...they just kept building more and newer SUVs and gave every division a copy of that.

What would be nice would be a fun sporty 2 door family coupe

oh and RWD wouldn't that be a nice change of pace.


Ok I'm done now.
