With the Corvette and Camaro in the stable, I really don't see a point to this car. |
I think this article explained it well.

"This car is for the family guy who can't convince his wife to buy a corvette". I probably wouldn't buy one either, but having performance oriented cars on a high level makes performance car segment vibrant and competitive. I love the idea of an Affordable Sedan version of a Camaro. It makes every car company keep the realm of having power in cars alive.
As long as chevy does the right thing and build it in realistic numbers. I think it will do well.
