sounds like the current Regal. (which i guess is good since this is what it's being replaced by) but that 200 hp engine better be the base engine, especially when you have the Bonneville, GP, and Impala coming out with about 285 horses in the next couple of years.

Always look at the concept design, not the car itself.
Anyone ever notice how the LaCrosse concept and the Chevrolet SS concept (by body style only) look like they could be designed on the same body structure?
6 window greenhouse, semi-fast back, similar rear-end structure. The drivetrain & chassis of both concepts aren't production, and aren't meant to be. While the LaCrosse is about mid-size, the SS design is about a scale or 2 larger. The SS concept is also known to be an exageration of a soon to be production design.
Yet both LaCrosse concept and the Chevy SS concept look similar in sheet metal and greenhouse layout, minus the front clip & rear end.
Now....... can anyone tell me, why that is?
Here's some hints:
From the rear:

And from the front:

If you get this, go have yourself a nice cold beer. No one else has picked this up yet, and the SS concept has been out nearly a year.

So should we expect a similar design structure for the 5th Gen too?

VE is for sure the new Camaro platform right?

Is it all of Canada, or just French speaking Quebec that is getting the renamed car?

They are all the same thing.
Camaro apparently is not exactly a coupe version of this chassis, but it's likely to use many the same chassis components, and it's quite possible it could be built on the same assembly line.
