Just 'cause a car is discontinued doesn't mean it'* a collector'* item.
It didn't have enough power to compete, therefore causing it to not sell too well, causing it to get canned.

slow, automatic, heavy, uncomfortable, poor steering response all come to mind from my horrific test drive awhile back. the new fwd impala ss'*(L67) are almost a full second quicker in the 1/4. hell, the aftermarket for the l67 is appraching that of the LT-1 very quickly, so dont say there'* a larger aftermarket.
