Yes, it's fantastic. If Lincoln can market it right it will become a segment leader. -

There aren't performance vehicles for the average joe. The Charger Hellcat costs as much as an ATS-V. A Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is in CTS-V territory... or might as well be as much as it matters to the Average Joe. It doesn't matter that FCA is using their Average Joe brand names, they still cost as much as a Cadillac performance vehicle. And Joe can barely handle an Impala V6 at full throttle.

What isn't changed is the vehicles that would be canceled. Everything on the list is among GM's slowest retail sellers. If they cancel the Cruze... there is no reason to keep Lordstown. I am surprised but not really that the CT6 is on the cut list. The XTS we've known about for a while.... if Impala and XTS go, then there is no business case for Lacrosse. From there it snowballs. No Cruze = No Volt. No Volt + No Impala + No Lacrosse = CT6 alone at Hamtramck, which just doesn't add up. My guess is that if ANY of these vehicles survive, it will be the CT6 because it is the newest, but they'll build it in China and ship it over.

After simmering on this a bit more.... this is going to have serious political implications in 2020. In the last 14 presidential elections, Ohio has gone with the ultimate winner in the election. Trump won the county where Lordstown sits by 6,000 votes. One would think it could also have a significant impact on the mood of the constituents of Michigan in 2 years time. It is entirely possible that the next presidential election was just decided today.

They put a load of money into Detroit-Hamtramck to make it one of the most advanced plants in North America. I'm surprised they're closing it instead of moving other product there. I get their reasoning for cutting the vehicles they're cutting, but why not build the inevitable CUVs/SUVs in that plant? It moved once Camaro moved to a platform shared with Cadillac..... in 2015, not 2012.
