Hopefully real names return like Grand Am or Tempest, I think Torana would be a cool name though.

Torana would be the Holden name if I spelled it right.

Yeah I kinda like that name, can't wait to see this car and the BLS.

Searching for Pontiac...

Chevrolet had the Caprice/Impala SS, Lumina, Corsica/Beretta 10 years ago. I think there is room for mid-size fwd, full-size fwd, and full-size rwd sedans in Chevrolet's line-up. I want to buy a rwd Impala and will not settle for a fwd car.

Orion, MI:

Are they saying that the G6 continues in its present form until 2011? I guess so.

igor · 09-28-2007, 04:58 PM

what is the difference between Delta and Gamma? I thought Cobalt was Delta ... but it says Cobalt is Gamma.

1) 7 passanger MPV built on Delta starting 2009 ?
2) Chevrolet large notchback in 2010 ?

3) Cobalt replacement in 2009 ..

Anyone knows anything about #1 and #2? #3 is interesting - that is SOON - I believe 2012 was expected.

does anyone know how much longer the Trail Blazer/Envoy/... is going to be made? Which platform is it on?

MrMax · 09-28-2007, 05:02 PM

Good news all around. Hopefully we can get a fairly extensive update on that G6. 2013 for the replacement seems long though, even by GM standards. Maybe it really is going RWD.

Bravada · 09-28-2007, 05:02 PM

So, there WILL be a Zeta Cadillac... Oh well, GM was doing too well, this had to happen...

atomicshark · 09-28-2007, 05:04 PM

If the G6 is going to continue until 2013 the next facelift (hopefully 2009) will have to really be one for the ages!

CJ Thunder · 09-28-2007, 05:06 PM

How come noone is talking about the Volt platform in 2010, that confirms it.

Yeah a proper caddy, too bad.

My guess the Impala will live as a widened and lengthened Malibu; sort of like the 93 and 95.

Probably down in Mexico with the Theta's and next gen-Astra. Business case to get wages lower in North East Ohio, where the cost of living is very low to begin with.

GM-Joe · 09-28-2007, 05:08 PM

I also noticed MPV7, maybe the minivan lives!

And there is a market for it, it just can not be too conservative, it would need a little excitement, but safety built into its theme.
