There seem to be rumors floating around that there is another car besides the C***** that will be at NAIAS. This one is supposed to be a stunner and headed for production. I have not seen much discussion on it, so I thought I would give it it's own thread. Are we talking a Bel AIr possibly?

 

I wonder where the Bel Air rumor originated.

 

maybe with the concept a few years ago...

 

"Or maybe it's some cool thing I've never even heard of"

I think we might be in for a huge surprise...

 

Could they be showing the a concept of the next GTO?

 

They could but it seems as though a rwd Chevy sedan will be of particular importance. Maybe it IS approved for production on the Camaro's plaform and would speed up the production of Camaro.

 

Give me a sedan with a 55's lines.

Just think how a car with 50's styling would do today? I think = good! Hell, look at the buzz the HHR has created...

 

Agreed. I think the Bel Aire concept showed that while people like the idea of a RWD nostalgic sedan they need to get the styling details right before they do anything. Bel Aire had all the basic components right but the details were missed and that means that it missed the audience.

 

think 300C...its modern but a classic american design..and by that I mean...a BIG sedan

 

So a Chevy version of the 300 more or less. Hmmmmm, could be interesting.

 

2008 Malibu

 

08/09 Impala?

 

I feel pretty certain of a few things...

-It's a Chevy
-It's RWD
-It has the possibility to be a stunner even more than the Camaro (from the way people talk about the appearance of this mystery car).



Now for some SWAG's (Scientific Wild *** Guess)
-When you hear Guy and others say that there may be a RWD car that makes it to market quicker than the Camaro...I am gonna assume this is it.
-It is most likely a RWD sedan or Quad Coupe because before there can be a Camaro, there has to be a volume sedan. (been stated many times). Also, if Chevy has a more pressing need than a Mustang competitor, it is that they need a competitor for the 300.
-If it's a sedan, Caprice or Bel Air would seem to be the front runners unless they give it a new name. Caprice is nice, but does not have the heritage pop Bel Air does. I am also gonna go out on a limb and say that styling will likely dictate the name. If it wear Chevy's new styling language, then it may very well have a new name. However, if it is retro, Bel Air make sense.

I do not see Impala going RWD anytime soon the way it sells.

 

They just released the freshened 06, doubt we will see the model that will replace it so soon.

 

I don't expect more than one RWD Chevy concept at Detroit.
