But (playing Devil's advocate) how many more RWD performance cars does GM really need? Maybe they should just improve on their current ones, instead? (Make them not just great, but stellar!)
To date (and including next year) there should be:
Caddy CTS
Caddy CTS-V
Caddy STS
Caddy XLR
Pontiac Solctice (and coupe)
Pontiac G8
Saturn Sky
Chevy Corvette
Chevy Camaro
Then supposedly, beyond the now-shelved Impala, there's two more Zetas coming, and Two Alpha cars (possible replacements/possible additions). I'm not seeing much of a problem for a company with as broad a consumer-base as GM.... |
I think GM really needs the Alpha cars for accessible and sensible options for consumers looking for performance products that don't need the size or space of the G8. Consumers who want something practical, fuel efficient and affordable in a rear wheel driven performance package. With the market trending towards smaller cars this makes perfect sense. A Pontiac Alpha and Cadillac Alpha car wouldn't hurt their portfolio, it would only enhance it. Heck, throw another Alpha car for Chevy while you're at it. They don't all need to be sedans, they can get creative, they could even build the next Solstice and Sky off of the Alpha platform to spread costs.
