Ill take this apart in 2 ways.
#1: Dont forget Solstice and Sky for the foreseeable future. Camaro and Camaro Vert. Pontiac G8, as well as a lower priced RWD car from Caddy.
#2: Go ahead and list me down all the other makers of affordable RWD cars, hell...RWD cars overall that make more then GM under 35k?
GM has
Camaro and Vert
Solstice
Sky
CTS and CTS Coupe and Wagon
G8 and G8 ST
Ford? Mustang aaaaaaaaaand...Fleet only Panther cars
Chrysler? 300, Charger, Challenger
Honda? S2000
Toyota? Lexus IS,GS
Nissan? 370Z, G37 coupe and sedan.
So GM kills Kappa 2, so that means the death of all RWD in GM is over. The small, under 50k unit production 2 door roadster life will end within 5 years, and that means that RWD in GM is dead, and that GM is stupid and dead.
Someone explain that to me?
And anyone think thats its possible to build Solstice or Sky off another RWD platform like Alpha?
Everyone keeps making assumptions off Alpha because Caddy is getting it that its going to cost a lot.
Zeta didnt cost a lot, and Alpha will be a cheaper smaller version of Zeta, most likely to use Zeta's rear subframe along with a cheap and easy front strut system.
