They are not getting ride of the line, just not referring "Chevrolet" as "Chevy" anymore. They will still make the line of cars, and still call them Chevrolet, just not Chevy.

How can they kill a nickname. The fact that they are actually wasting money on meetings about this is disturbing.

I knew this was not fake. GM and Chevy are synonamous.It sounds like the media is hyping this up a bit and now GM has to waist their time answering questions and battling critics.
