Default GM Zeta Drop, Not?

I just read in Motor Trend that GM is still producing Zeta platform cars. Like a new GTO, a new Chevelle, new Camaro, Pontiac G4, G8.
What's the deal? I thought GM dropped the Zeta platform?

GM delayed the Zeta platform for one year to use the factory space to build more suv's and trucks.

Looks like GM is partially (not completely) repeating the mistake they made 10 years ago in 1995/96 when they converted the Arlington, TX plant from full-size rear-drive cars to.....you guessed it.....more trucks and SUV's.
