GM isn't pulling out of Europe. The Chevrolet brand is.

They'll actually be saving some money on not having to waste resources marketing and selling an unsuccessful brand in that market.

Agree ^ I was just thinking GM wouldn't send Chevy into to a market to lose money.

All of you need to listen to Fenwick. This move will be good for GM financially. As for all of this BS about the Euro inspired refresh and how we are doomed to have a Euro designed 6th gen are really too much.
#1 The reason American car designs are changing to become more and more Euro is simple. The Europeans have built more visually appealing cars according to the global masses and we have to adapt.
#2 The refresh wasn't euro inspired and the 6th gen probably will be. If GM doesn't make the car appealing to people outside of North America then they are giving away what Ford predicts is 10% of future pony car sales.
#3 Look at the huge sucess the 14 Corvette is having and tell my why you don't want that same sucess for the Camaro?
