Well looks like GM just shot themselves, and not in the foot this time but in the head. No Camaro and no Volt....What does that leave that wasn't there before and wasn't selling???

a $40,000 economy car. That was a joke to start with, when Honda will have a hybrid for under $20,000. Hey they can continue to produce useless buicks.

GM maybe doing this to hold up the year earlier release of the Fisker Karma which was going to use the same engine.

I was excited about the Volt project all along. Whether it sells for 5k or 500k the concept and design of the car would intrigue anyone. The Volt bringing any financial success beyond marketing is difficult to imagine. Still it was the right direction for GM and could have brought future hybrid costs down.

Fisker doesn't give a rat's ass about this plant, they were just doing GM a favour by putting their engine in their car. They will just go to a renault 1.4 or VW, they won't have a problem sourcing a 1.4 L from europe.
