GM to replace Wayne Cherry
GM designer Wayne Cherry will be retiring soon (he was extended when Lutz got aboard) and the leading candidate to replace him is Ed Welburn (head designer of Chevy's SSR and Wayne's #2 man).
But also being considered is Tom Gale (THE guy responsible for Chrysler's designs from the 1st Viper to the PT Cruiser).
Bryan Nesbitt is considered too young (at 34) to head the design studio, and may end up at Opel.

I see Nesbitt staying at Chevy too. He's really abit young to be design chief.
Tom Gale would be an interesting pick...of course their may be some friction between Tom and 'ole Maximum Bob.
My bet's on Welburn.

He has quite a few success stories under his belt, and he's been there a lot longer than Nesbitt.

Ya, I was a bit surprised when John Cafaro's name wasn't at least mentioned as well.
