Chi didnt get out of engineering phase.
Once GM was set on Zeta becoming the basis for RWD cars, Chi was canned and shelved.

Could it come to life? Would GM spend the millions of desiging a single chassis for Impala only? Who else would use this platform? Why bother spending the money when you could either try to make the EP2 platform bigger, or Zeta lighter.
