For what it's worth, I still don't see how the same point you're making wouldn't apply. The ease of 1) fixing the well-known minor shortcomings causing continued negative perception, then 2) adding a bit of power (with existing solutions, after all this is a parts bin car and a glorious one at that) and 3) maybe advertising the car a bit, in other words, putting up a fight with minimal R&D cost, means there is no way it would not be profitable.

The counterargument is that even then the real money is only in SUVs, trucks and EVs, but it's very interesting that on one side perception appears to be everything (those "yuge" visibility, back seat legroom, bathtub cabin, trunk opening etc. issues with the Camaro), but the perception of excellence and vanguardship from an outstanding, world class sports/muscle car offering is swept off the table.

I guess they may think there is no room for two players of this kind on the same stage, and if one has to make a choice, the Corvette is the obvious one for GM.

My opinion, GM isn't run by people with balls anymore. They're in bed with the Govt and pushing the Govt agenda because they're most likely getting some kickbacks from them.
