Cobalt SS, R.I.P

Hemmings Motors New is reporting that the Cobalt SS and the CTS-V Cadillac have been discontinued and the workers assigned different duties. Some have speculated that the Corvette might be next but I have heard nothing definitive.

So, do you guys think the TC has the possibility of becoming somewhat of a collectors item? Only 2 model years, very good performance (even in comparison with previous SS models). Not many sold...

Could turn into a Grand National/GNX kinda deal a decade or two from now.

Also, no need to be sarcastic wieners...I have the forums bookmarked, not the front page; and I'm sure most other people have it set up the same way.

When General Motors made the announcement yesterday that it was shutting down it High Performance Vehicle Operations, a few questions surfaced about what would happen to the models that haven't hit dealers but are still in the pipeline. While the answers seemed obvious to us (development's done so they're still on the way), GM spokesman Vince Muniga sought to address the concerns of enthusiasts.

Muniga told InsideLine that the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS is coming out and "is not threatened at all." Furthermore, and just as obvious, the Cadillac CTS-V, Cobalt SS and HHR SS will soldier on until their production run ends, and vehicles like the Camaro SS, Corvette ZR1 and Z06 – all of which were developed as regular production models, not through HPVO – are safe.

The 60 or so engineers behind the HPVO team are still receiving paychecks with Wagoner's signature and have begun working on everything from passenger vehicles to crossovers. According to Muniga, "We're not going to let those talents go to waste."

From Autoblog.com...new development is dead...not the current product line up...

Now one thing I've really been dying to hear, but have not heard a 100% answer, will the SS/TC owners still see the Stage package, or since it may have not been 100% completed, are we to expect it to not show?
