Look few things in life are for certain, this isn't news folks. HOWEVER, GM still knows that not everyone wants a FWD joy-kill hybrid compact five-door hatch. People are still going to want to light up rear-driven wheels and drive cars that scare the living crap out of unsuspecting greenies on our local high-ways and by-ways, cars like the Camaro. I certainly don't see Cadillac killing any of it's rear-driven products like the CTS, because that's what segment of that market demands. Same goes for Chevy and the Camaro as well as the Vette. At the same time things won't continue the same as they were, cars will obviously get smaller and lighter and use smaller but more efficent, "green" powertrains. The good folks at Chevy and GM know there are folks like us that want the Camaro to stick around, and going by comments from Fritz, Lutz and others there's lots to look forward to.
If there's one thing I see going forward and as the market seems to be molded around and has been for sometime is that Americans WILL NOT be told what they should wear or what they should drive. We decide. We have always been a highly individualistic society unwilling to conform to conventionalism, and I'm almost positive GM, Ford and Chrysler are well aware of this.
