As usual, your reasoning seems to lack some pertinent details.
We did expect that to have been the case for quite a while and were tracking it in our forecast. Then came the Zero/Zero/Zero strategy pivot and we dropped it from our forecast. Even then we still tracked the potential of LT5 falling under the Camaro hood. I got more than definitive denial of that one from people who would know and dropped that from the forecast too.
