Sorry, not seeing how this is interpreted as lack of appreciation. AMERICANS were not buying these AMERICAN MADE cars in GM's desired volume.
Fixed.

Been through this same thing over on M6G, where it still seems they could have saved just one of the sedan lines to be axed and kept at least a minimal presence in the sedan/coupe market. Minimal still amounting to something like half a million or so sales/year between the top two.

People that come on here everyday to talk about a performance car are NOT the key market for autonomous or EVs. Remember the car we love to talk about here is a tiny fraction of what GM produces now. Tiny.
Most of us also buy outside the muscle car/ponycar/sports car niche. Why on earth should we be required to embrace such a different set of criteria for our less overtly performance-oriented purchases? Do you really want to leave your "fun to drive" in the hall closet every time you have to drive your not-the-Camaro?
