Yep, for this car to happen GM had to be sure that 100,000 of them would sell each year...I guess its now obvious that their bean counters figured they would sell that much annualy.
I predict they'll advertise the crap out of this car, with all that "American Revolution" stuff they have going on etc. If you look at the main reasons the last generation died, one was the fact that the cars were meant for 20-somethings but only 40 year olds could afford the 40k plus price tag. Also, GM did a terrible job advertising these cars the last time around....a few magazine ads and thats it. Hopefully it'll stay alive this time.
