GM is like that retarded hamster that keeps licking the electrified water bottle

Nothing wrong except that they killed off the camaro for the GTO expecting to do well. They failed miserabaly from a business standpoint the GTO is discontinued and now they use the same formula on an uglier car.

The fact that they use the same motor in the afformentioned cars bastardizes and cheapens the significance of the LS2 as a corvette powerplant.

This is the stupidest way to run a business hence the proverbial retarded hamster synonym. They are literally shooting themselves in the foot point blank with a purposeful well aimed deliberate shotgun slug.

If this stategic business stupidity keeps going GM will become a division of toyota and all thier plants will be converted into the production of toyota camrys.

I disagree. GM’s heyday was when they put big motors in cheap cars. Remember the original GTO, SS396, etc.? Sounds like an excellent formula still. There are lots of reasons for a car model to sell or not sell. Sometimes it’s 'cause the car is a turd (many examples), other times it’s really hard to say. The GTO is/was a great car. About the only objective criticism is that it’s a bit bland looking, but so are a lot of great cars (think nearly any of Chris Bangle’s BMW’s, for starters). GM’s problems are more image/marketing than anything else. They have a number of competitive productrs and some outstanding ones. But they can’t figure out how to market and service them. They need to look hard at what Toyota/Lexus are doing.

Having the LS2 available in a number of cars does not make the Corvette less (or more) desirable, IMHO.
