Brace yourselves......

Brace yourselves......
Fasten your seatbelts......some things at GM may be happening soon/have already happened which will be sad and shocking.
All NA Zeta programs appear to be cancelled.
Some GM divisions may be in jeopardy.
*Edited to be less cryptic - everyone happy?

Certain division(s) at real risk.

if zeta is dead, do we have a beta option?
if not, is there an extra platform that we don't know about?
and...what divisions may be at risk?
money has been sunk into each division really so i'm not sure what they would cut right away
pontiac, buick, saturn seem to be the only ones in jeopardy
but which one?

Re: Brace yourselves......
Eh, I'm just about numb with GM right now anyway...and its over so much more than just no F body. I love GM as much as anyone here, and there are some great cars out there right now, as I pointed out in another thread.
But the ones that ellicit real passion are not there. Vette = too much $$, GTO = no open roof option, and all the other cars are based on basic appliances. Some VERY nice appliances, don't get me wrong. But the closest thing to a soul stirrer is the Solstice, and that's too small for me...
I never thought I'd be yearning for a Mustang, but I'm starting to feel it. Ford just flat gets it in certain ways...
I'm remembering guion's words, and I'm going to wait and see how this plays out. guion, is THIS what you were talking about? I can guess the divisions in trouble, but lets not lose Zeta...

Re: Brace yourselves......
Remember Guy's post a while back about "things coming out which may or may not be true that may throw people in a panic" but it's really not that big of a deal? I'm betting this is the kind of stuff he was referring to.

I'm not saying anything about whether or not the rumors are true (I have no idea about most of them), but dang everyone is so negative lately...
*sigh*

Re: Brace yourselves......
I agree with you...that's why I came to the conclusion to just wait it out. I just really, really want an enthusiast car again. The Mustang's success is driving that home with me more and more.

Re: Brace yourselves......
I'm getting sick of all of the 'I know something you don't know' threads on here lately. Why don't you shut the hell up if you're just going to stir the crap in here? Tell us something or get lost.

Edit: here is Guy's post on the topic. Lets hope one of the 2 senarios plays out.

Being only partially represented in that market by the GTO != not offering any enthusiast cars anymore...
