Way to go, Scott!
Don't see anything about them denying killing the GT turbo - only mention is of killing the 'vert.
It's death by attrition. You hit it spot on - a panel, a coupe - and keep the GT - more choices, not fewer, will improve sales.

Nice work Scott, I signed the petition but I didn't realize that was a promise to buy a 2009! I would if they would build another 2003 style base 5 speed GT.

Yeah, I'm not sure where the reporter got the 'promise to buy' bit...

But, exposure of 'the cause' is a good thing.
