    We're a few steps off from getting to a GNX anyhow. Buick's old, they'd need to limber up (with a few GSs or T-Types) or else they'll pull something.

    Besides, we've got the CTS-V - based on a relatively sedate sedan, but it can chase down Corvettes with the help of forced induction. Plus this time, it can do that whole handling thing.

    @Skink:

    And all fun cars also died forever during the fuel crisis years.

    Also, fuel injection is WAY worse than carbs.

    Finally, cars on ladder frames with no crumple zones are totally safer than new cars with all their gubmint-mandated safety crap.

    @Feds: Point is these manufacturers can't be all things to all people. The days of Buick having a performance car are over, for example. If someone isn't building a hot rod for you that you like, you're going to have to build it yourself.

    Another pompous Fritz-ism. This guy needs a clue...every time he flatly says this or that prized model isn't gonna be made, he's kicking his marketting right in the cojones.

    Honest to god, Fritz Henderson is a disaster. Never mind if he has an IQ of 160...and I questrion this...his common sense is barely room temperature.

    GM's currently unable to design anything new that's performance oriented per Obama. Look forward to more econoboxes and crossovers because, hey, it's what (the government says) Americans want to drive.

    @superbadd75, with electrolytes!: Go look at a list of the top 10 cars Americans buy. Pickups, midsized and compact sedans, and a single crossover. There's no major government interference here, the public wants to know what beige can do for them.

    @Maymar: That's because American car companies haven't produced a compelling, well priced performance car for years. The mustang is Meh, but it sells in droves, The corvette is out of reach of most Americans. The best performance for the dollar tends to come from that island in the far east.

    @spuy767: So, because an American company hasn't had a great sports sedan in some time (nevermind the low sales on the G8), Americans just buy Camrys and Accords? That's like going into a restaurant and ordering plain oatmeal because they didn't have suicide wings.

    A few dumb questions during the chat. Here's a sampling:

    "What does GM plan to do for the service of Saturn vehicles especially new ones just purchased supposedly under warranty?"

    How many times do people have to be reassured their warranties will still be honored?

    "Is the new Chevy Cruze a rebranded Daewoo"

    Any cursory gaze at the Cruze's wiki page will reveal this info. Do not need to ask CEO.

    "thats it , put american troops in FOREIGN owned vehicles"

    Stoopid morans.

    "will we see a 4 door Camaro. I would love to own one but i need 4 doors for my family-"

    A 4-door Camaro? WTF; is this guy smoking crack? Next people will be asking for a 4-door Dodge Charger.
