But the government release says hybrid car. The 6-speed isn't a hybrid transmission. So the two aren't directly related, though the 6-speed could be going into a hybrid version of the car that also fits the 6-speed.

These EPII car's will get the new BAS+ System with a NEW Six Speed Automatic attached to it? Is that what it is?

I think this is the new Chevrolet Malibu on EPII. I think the Saab 9-5 will be out late 2009 on EPII.

[jmlee0695]

thats what i say. we already know it been moved up to late 2010,so this is definetly right timing

Yes, he does, but he's not at liberty to discuss it :p.

Considering there are 3-4 cars slated for Flex, I HIGHLY doubt any sort of bigger volume car would be run there (alongside the Camaro, just a set of middle volume cars, a la Camaro, G8, LaCrosse, STS, etc.), so methinks the Malibu is out, and something from another brand is in. I have an inkling (well, two technically, so long as I'm thinking of somewhat classic names) as to what it is, and if it is either of the ones I think it is, and lives up to either name, I'll be happy.

i know whats coming, all it takes is family in high places, but i aint saying chit!

So we could see a RWD Buick Roadmaster Sedan build next too the Camaro? And were is the next generation Malibu going to be build at?

These 2010 Malibu will be on EPII chassis. Sound like too me there is going to be two RWD car's build alone side of the camaro and these fwd car. It also sounds like there will be either ZETA Platforum cars with BAS+ system or Two Mode Hybrid System?

[danwaterloo]

Supposing it starts with an E, it will probably be a Buick Electra, which will replace the Buick Lucerne? If not that then maybe a Cadillac Eldorado which would replace the DTS/STS?

Yes, but the Malibu won't be RWD.

Lets think about this, 10-12 years ago St Catherns was GM's top plant, making A Body cars Cenutry's and such.. Then poof you are making really good cars, so we are going to switch the Van Iyes assembly plant to you for the all new "F body" car.

Where is the F body? and where is the St Cathern's plant today?
