Thumbs down With GM cutbacks: I'm Worried About GM Stage 1





General Motors is postponing nearly all of its spending on product development in 2009 and 2010--a cost-cutting move that could delay the introduction of key vehicles such as the Chevrolet Cruze.

The automaker also is cutting spending on engineering, design and r&d, say sources familiar with GM's plans. So far, nothing has been officially canceled, but nearly everything is delayed, the sources say.
Looks like GM is cutting a lot of the R&D funding, which logically should effect Stage 1...

Thoughts?

I don't think they would have already spent that money & time on it, and not release it....

So, you think in just say, 2 weeks, that we will be able to buy that upgrade kit?
And do you think it will support the 2009 SS/TC's?

Systems take longer to integrate than just a week after release.

It will support 2009's.

Sweet, sweet sweet. How long do you think until we can actually buy this kit & have it installed?

Sometime in the spring?

I've posted this several times in the LNF sub-forum. The staged kits were put on the back burner MONTHS ago due to cost cuts.

I was called a liar, an unpatriotic POS, and many other things via that thread and PMs.

Hopefully we might see it some time in 2009, but I am NOT holding my breath...
