Maybe, but on the other hand it comes down to is the car profitable. The benefit for the Camaro is it’s on the Alpha platform shared with a couple other vehicles which helps keep R&D down and allows for overhead cost sharing. I think the impala was cancelled because the Malibu is very similar sized yet selling very well (we actually have one) and they saw know point an investing money into a future impala.
