I'd say that's both true and not true.

When talking about "GM" the huge corporation (or Honda or Nissan or BMW) you are right...the corporation cares about the corporation and making a profit for its shareholders. That is, after all, its only true reason to exist.

However, when you get "below" the "corporation" then you are talking about real people with real emotions, including in many cases, a passion for cars and for enthusiasts and customers.

Of course, all companies must not only make a profit but no matter how large a corporation is, they have a limited pool of resources which they can spend to generate a profit so at the end of the day, the Camaro not only has to make a profit but it has to make enough of a profit to justify the resources it uses (and which can't be spend on other models that may provide a better ROI).
