GM pulls plug on '08 line of cars - Product czar Bob Lutz wants to
speed new trucks, SUVs to market faster.

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

Well, I must honestly admit that I really could care less about General Motors as a corporation. I currently hold no stock in any auto company, and am not thinking of moving to an automotive job, so my knowledge of their corporate/financial position is limited.

All that I care about is what car they put out. The next company (I don't care who - I'd rather American, but I can't be picky) to put out a sexy, RWD, 400+hp, 2 door, sports car will get my $40,000. Will it be a Vette? Maybe. But, it'll be a much easier sell to my wife if it can (theoretically) hold 4 people. If no one is willing to build one, then I'll buy a classic. I simply refuse to buy something that has a "high profit margin" - that's not what I care about.
