chevy's future

here is a press release by Gary Cowger on Aug 7th

Beginning in January, Chevy will introduce nine all-new products in 20 months. In the next 12 months alone...

The all-new Malibu... which goes into production next week.

The SSR roadster...

The Colorado midsize pickup...

The Malibu MAXX extended sedan...

The Equinox compact pact SUV...

The all-new Aveo small car.

And shortly after that, the all-new Chevrolet Cobalt small car.

This January in Detroit, we'll reveal the next generation of what has consistently been the most anticipated new car over the last half century.

Of course, I'm talking about the C6 Corvette.

Let me give you just a teasers and details about the C6.

First, it will be more powerful. In baseball terms - and this is a quiz - think about Ted Williams' unmatched feat from 1941: His batting average.
A more athletic stance... longer wheelbase and shorter overhangs... Can't show you that today.
For the first time since 1962... fixed headlamps. Unlike the traditional pop-ups, this will allow the use of modern, high-technology lighting.
You'll notice the Corvette badge is a bit different as well, trimmer and more athletic to match the stance of the car itself.
(Pause)
20 months from then would be April 2004, the cars:

1. Malibu
2. Colarado
3. MAXX
4. Equinox
5. Aveo
6. Cobult

others we know
7. HHR
8. Corvette (assuming he's counting the c6 as one of the nine, which i say he is because he included the redesiged Malibu)
9. ????

whats the 9th one???

What YEAR did he make that statement?

If it was August 2002, then 20 months after that would be April 2004.
If it was August 2003, then 20 months after that would be April 2005.

And he did say CHEVY.

My guess on the 9th vehicle is the HHR.

1) Malibu
2) Malibu MAXX
3) Colorado
4) SSR
5) Aveo
6) Equinox
7) Cobalt
8) Corvette

9) HHR

You're correct... SSR was missing from the list. Nice catch!
