GM disbands high performance vehicle operations

[badmatt]

the automaker has disbanded its High Performance Vehicle Operations team, the crew responsible for the line V-series Cadillacs, the Chevrolet Cobalt SS, HHR SS and the V8 version of the Colorado. According to Vince Muniga, a spokesman for the General, "All high-performance projects are on indefinite hold. The engineers are moving into different areas of the organization, and they will work on Cadillacs, Buicks, Chevrolets and Pontiacs."

All I can say is, ouch. GM had a way of selling themselves on the emotional and nostalgic attachments that people have with their cars. How are they going to do that now? Base model Cobalt with hubcaps? A Camaro with a V6?

After GM and Chrysler came knocking for ANOTHER 21 billion earlier in the week, I think chapter 11 is right around the corner.
