HUH????

Explain more if possible Guion!

Hmmmm.....

How about Bengal floorpan, Sigma front supension, and C6 rear suspension with rear mounted T-56.

It could be a structure based on a Bengal or a unique structure based on the new volume sigma. The reason I say it's likely to be a unique structure is because "tumble home" seemed like a big issue with the design, which the CTS & the next Impala/Monte Carlo won't have in abundance, meaning (and I'm interpreting/assuming here) Bengal or a unique structure using another car's suspension assemblies and systems layout (ie: electrical, brakelines, etc...).

Whatever it's based on, it seems like there's not going to be a Camaro only plant, so it will be made on an assembly line with something else.

Best I can do right now (actually it's pretty much everything I know right now ).

One other thing, I'm sure someone else here has come across this too, but Cadillac will have a CTS based coupe within a few years...with GM's CEO's full support!
