YES!

But I think a RWD Buick (Velite) and Pontiac (GTO) are more important than a Camaro. I would love to see a RWD Impala.

velite? more important than a camaro? please. maybe to buick, the velite might even save buick. but with the mustang selling how many thousands a year, the challenger on it's way, and gm just standing there watching, they whould be idiots NOT to re-release the camaro. the GTO is equally as important as the new camaro, i just hope it'll be good looking.

Great news. I hope they come soon. I want a RWD impala and I RWD Buick sedan the most. I kinda feel sorry Opel won't be getting any.

The Grand Prix is supposed to get RWD also, with available AWD. Only time will tell.

Mostly everything in the article I already knew about. Hopefully we will see the Camaro and the Bel Air/Caprice/Impala and the GTO and G8 as well as a Buick sedan. Maybe if we're lucky we will get a coupe and convertible Buick as well as halo car for Saturn.

This is great news. Buick should be at the top of the list for receiving a RWD vehicle.

Yes. I just got back from the NAIAS, and this is just what GM needs.

3 words. Chevelle. Chevelle. Chevelle. (based off of the SS concept)

GM has the capability to "steal" the next 3 or 4 auto shows.
