Yeah, but it costs more to make it and ship all that stuff to the individual stores, and when no one eats it, its thrown away. So, figure while it might cost them 30k in customers by not having it, they are saving 50k per day but not having it.

Im sure that Mustang took some people looking to buy an American sports coupe, but to be honest the Camaro and Trans Am were not the GM coupes that were cross shopped with the Mustang. The #1 GM car most cross shopped with the Mustang was the Grand Am coupe. So you could actually say that the loss of the Grand Am hurt GM more then anything else.
The G6 was GM's midsized coupe for a long time. I hope that with the next generation, we can expect to see a Malibu coupe. Something different then Camaro, offering a different type of coupe. Capture the handling, but offer a bit more comfort over Camaro.

The Caparice's platform was probably being readyto be scrapped. Police deptarments were asking to just keep the plant open to make the Caprice cop cars.
It seems they all take turns at making the fleet cars.
Being in the city today, the Impala's are outnumbering the CV's now, but there are several Nissian Atltima Hybrid and even Prius NYPD cars on the road. I saw the Prius hauling ass down 9th, lights blazing.
