Anyway, an upper class Camaro could be a GTO as well.

So you think a Malibu MaXX with a trunk on the end and a fixed rear seating position would be a good replacement than Impala? I could see it as a good starting point.

Re: Clarifying Zeta.

Eh..no. Epsilon is very narrow compared to other mid sizers. I think it has to deal with the European design too much and makes it look odd. Very narrow track, yet with the LWB models, it looks odd. If they could expand on the track of the Epsilons, and make them a little longer, it would be a great deal
You can read more on my ideas of how GM should have thier chassis in my editorial on GMI.

Re: Clarifying Zeta.

FWIW, Epsilon II will be slightly larger than the current Epsilon. '08 Malibu will be closer in size to the W-body.

Regarding Impala and Epsilon, well...we'll see. Chevy may want the opposite wheels to do the driving.

Re: Clarifying Zeta.

I know about EP II, I was commenting on EP I.
As for the Impala, duh!
As for Malibu, Maxx has a nice length, maybe a big longer to have a larger trunk, and wider to have more space.
