Question Chicago Auto Show

What is known, so far, on what will be at the Chicago Auto Show? As of now, I've heard of the redesigned Monte SS and Impala SS, as well as a surprise Chev product, a 600hp Ram, and GTO. I'm going and I want a heads-up before I go so I know what to look for.

I was hoping for some surprise from GM ( Camaro ) but from the latest coments by Lutz... I really don't think that a new Camaro is a priority
Maybe something about the next vette is

GM has lost me officialy as their customer....
I will be getting a new Mustang

I'd imagine it to be a grouping of different SS's... (ie. Monte Carlo SS, Impala SS, Silverado SS, etc..)

Same with the Corvette salon (Coupe, Vert, Z06... other??)

and the Z71 salon (Silverado Z71, Colorado Z71, Avalanche Z71, etc etc etc...)

of course, But you really think that it will cost around what cost a Camaro?

And I really like the Camaro, not that a vette isn't better, but I like Camaros


RED: <- that for the info

280 HP, 300 hp

I was at Barnes and Nobles last night reading a magazine, forget which one it was but it has the RX8, 350Z, 50th anniversaty vetteand a whole bunch of 'Higher performance' cars and they had the cobra on there with a 4.6 DOHC (4 cams) with an eaton SC that was making 390 HP and 390 ft/lbs of TQ

And it beat the 50th ann vette (which cost 15k more) by a couple tenths so for 35K a good amount of bang for the buck.

-Awaiting response from GM-
