It seems to me there are two reasons for this car

1) Get Chevy back in the V8, RWD market.
2) Give Chevy an excuse for not making them anymore. If this doesn't sell well, they could say "look, we tried and no one wants it".

I believe point number two is what GM is doing. Its very obvious they didnt try at all with this car! They just threw some Chevy badges on it and said you want it here it is, knowing most people wouldnt like it. That way in a year or two they can say well we tried sorry.

I have wanted this car since the G8 went away. If i had been in a better spot when the G8's were out i would have bought one. I made plans to buy this car once i heard it was coming, after seeing it there is no way I would spend 45K+ on this car.
