I'd add to your ideas.
Stretch Alpha even further, give it about 4" in wheelbase beyond Alpha+, and just make the next Impala RWD.
1) A series of SWB Alpha+ sedans: Impala SS, Regal, CTS, Commodore
2) A series of SWB Alpha+ coupes: Chevelle, Regal coupe, CTS coupe, Monaro
3) LWB (120" wb) Alpha+ sedan: Impala (maybe also a fleet-only Cadillac, distinct from the rest of the lineup, and also a new Statesman?)
I would not make the SS a Corvette-looking car. I would take the Impala's styling and evolve it more aggressively, but retain a very premium look.
