I may be hit and miss on alot of things, but on this "Zeta" car & Holden, I think it's safe to say I have a pretty solid grasp on it.

Multiple sources... can't beat it!

Expect to see it at next year's auto show circuit, and it will be out a year later. The Velite..er, Riviera will ironically, be on the streets after the Park Ave-LeSabre replacement, though we saw the Velite 1st.

The following year after these 2 hit the streets, things will REALLY start getting good!

The Velite looks great upclose. The lines and everything look awesome. I was thinking about it, and I wanted to see if there was gunna be 3 versions of the Zeta chassis. The Velite Zeta had a wheelbase of 114.7, which is quite large for a Camaro like coupe, but still about 6 or so inches off a large Sedan. The 300's WB is 120, and the last camaros was around 100. I figure that a 108 inch wheelbase for the small coupe, and a 121 inch wb for the large sedan, and the middle will be for large coupes or smaller sedans for Holden, Opel, along with a few GM NA cars.

I think the Velite's length is only around 190". Still shorter than Camaro.

Word. Velite's length is 185.7" to be exact.
4th Gen Camaro came in at about 197" IIRC?
