I think you misunderstood me. I, personally, couldn't care less about most of that stuff, and performance is of paramount importance for me. But you and I are not like most american car buyers. I was speaking in terms of the average car buyer, not the .9% (or whatever it is) of true enthusiasts. In terms of profitability, sports cars are not notoriously known to be such things, and generally are an image product. GM has that in the ZR1, and adding a similarly powered vehicle to the product line is redundant. Sports cars are not going to save GM. Its the Camry buyers, the Accord buyers, Odyssey buyers, that make up the bulk of automotive sales. Thats the war that GM has been losing, the one that matters.
