GM Zeta platform canceled

as you probably know, gm canceled their zeta platform ideas. for those that don't knowm the zeta platform was what they were trying to switch the gto to, as well as the grand prix and possibly a camaro comeback, along with other possible new rwd cars. this platform was based on a rwd setup.
my reason for posting was not to inform you of this, rather try and stir discussion if anyone has heard any new news on gm and rwd. ??

Re: GM Zeta platform canceled

This is very old news.
I wouldn't bye into the hype that no "Zeta" = No RWD.

lol

Sigma Lite is back on and has been since sometime. To add fuel to the fire that some "automotive news orginazations" are talking about "lite" vehicles...you get the idea.

Sigma lite is it, as was reported by AH-HA years ago on C&G.

I guess some of us are stuck in February-March even though it's almost July, huh?

I guess that's what happens when you have a website with a really GOOD future vehicles section, right?

Come on, blackztpi! Catch up!!!

I guess it's a good thing then that there is still Zeta-lite, Sigma-lite, Sigma, and Kappa RWD programs

and wait... Zeta car that are going to be built in Australia starting in early 2006.

blackztpi, search this forum, you have a lot of catching up to do.

No need to laugh at the guy. Just let him know that we have discussed this before and if he would like to know more about what we discussed, he can search around a little bit. Not everyone is as up to date on the 5th gen section here and there's no need to pick on someone for not being as up to date as you are.

Wait. I think we're onto something here.... You mean... Gosh, i don't know how to put this. Do you mean that we should be .. umm.. respectful to new posters? Even helpful? Perhaps not make fun of them or be sarcastic to them, but respectfully pointing them in the right direction?

What's next, treating the elderly with respect?

Ditto, give the guy a break, I know personally that the mods aren’t very happy with some of us around here for constantly belittling people that aren’t “in the know" like us.

Ok, but the guy has been registered here since December 2002.

I'm sorry but by now he should no better to look past the first page or do a board search before posting.

Some people just need the kind of help that this website can't provide.
