GM finally makes cars that are finally the equal or better than the rest of the world and they kill the program. Sometimes the image gained from these kind of cars is worth more than the profit they directly generate.

I also don't doubt that they killed the least enviro friendly cars to placate Dear Leader.

This basically kills future development of the ZR1, CTS-V and all SS models.

Does this mean the end of the Corvette? Actually, they get pretty good gas mileage.

[txnativegop]

well, there’s another nail in GM’s coffin.

[Da Coyote]

I bought a 2005 C6 Vette new. Flawless fit and finish, no rattles, and it’s had no problems whatasoever. And...the worst mileage I got was 19 in town, with the overall average being in the low 20s. 29+ on the highway.

Now, that’s what those clowns should have been doing for years. Too bad the MBAs allowed them to build the other GM trash that’s on the road.

GM = Government Motors

Looks Like this might be the time to purchase a Corvette!

[Ditter]

Have they canceled the Cheve Tahoe yet?

The socialists will tell you what you're allowed to drive now:

I will just buy foreign performance cars from now on, I guess.

Just when Jeremy Clarkson found an American car he liked, they kill it.

GM will not survive as a private company if it does not build cars that sell. That should be obvious to the central planners in Washington as well as GM execs.

[Zeppelin]

There may be a silver lining to this though...

Moving the High Performance team onto the regular production teams might more directly infuse the knowledge of the High Performance engineers than the previous arrangement.

Sure, it puts a big damper on R&D for the time being, but it may not be as detrimental as we think.

[Notary Sojac]

Best quote from the source post...

"Well those engineers are now on core projects. So core product will have performance. Why make it a separate line with ricer bodies? Put the power and handling in a regular handsomely styled car without ricing on top."

I totally agree. Why does "performance" always have to come in "low volume" versions with a "big ol' dealer markup"??

GM will retreat to producing poorly designed econo boxes that please the government but no one will buy or duds like the new Chevy Volt until it goes bankrupt and is bought by a foreign car company. I personally would like to see GM bought by Hyundai as it would start to bring back good engineering to their products. After more than 35 years of buying Chevies I bought a Mazda and definitely won’t consider buying another GM product.

The Communists, Socialists, and Enviro-MOONBATS among us won't be happy until we're all equally miserable and driving Yugos, or some other God-forsaken under-powered miniature death trap.

Before they destroy our country and our way of life, they need to be "taken care of".

[tubebender]

Will this include motor sports such as Nascar etc...

[VeniVidiVici]

I may be able to tolerate this as long as they still sell crate engines and trannies.

Baseball, hotdogs, apple pie, and Toyota!
