Based on this list, they've got to save the Solstice or Sky. I was hoping that GM would rebadge one as a Chevrolet Stingray with styling cues from the original Corvette. They also should save the G8 since it is the only other car on the Zeta platform. That would be a cost-cutting measure, and it would allow another Chevy to be built on the same platform as the Camaro.
