Such a shame loosing a cool compact. But they did add a lot of standard features. XM and Head curtain side impacts are standard, along with stabilitrac optional.
Guess we will have to wait for the turbo one, maybe a late edition to 2008.
in other news, HHR SS has been spotted with a biiig ol front mount.

It may be gone for good, I heard alot of the Hi-po GM cars are going to get axed with the new fuel economy requirements coming out. They are even talking about ****canning the G8 also, and it was supposed to be out this year.

[BigAls87Z28]

No...they are not doing anything with the G8. G8 will still come to the US.
Lutz made a comment about Zeta and the new 30% increase in EPA fuel milage that will come into effect 10 years from now. GM ****canning performance cars, I dont think so.

I'm thinking they are axing the blower in anticipation for a turbo motor replacement :)
