They used an exisintg platform to develop a small roadster and claim its too expensive to produce. It gets the axe. They used an existing platform and marketed a mid-sized sedan that is competitive to (and can whip the pants off of) the BMW 3-series. It gets the axe. Meanwhile, dealers are stuck trying to sell garbage like the Pontiac G6 and the Chevy Aveo. No wonder these guys went bankrupt.
