True, but they were also planning idling the plant that made the Camaros
to get out of a few contractual obligations as well. If they didn't
completely kill off the Camaro, they'd have been legally obligated to
continue the next generation Camaro at an old and antiquated plant which
needed major retooling, while building a new plant from scratch would have
been more cost effective.
Well...that's the scuttlebutt, anyway...
