BTW, Torana has a 112" wheelbase and 183.2" overall length. IMO that's just about perfect for a 5th gen.

Too big of a wheelbase and too little in length. I don't want a go-kart.

And I don't want another third gen - I have one already.

And....who said it has to be? Every dimension proposal I've ever thrown out there has been almost more 1st Gen. Compared to 3rd Gen dimensions I have always said reduced length, slightly increased width, slightly higher but similar rake, and a bigger wheelbase. I'm fine with a 1st or 3rd Gen dimentioned 5th Gen. As long as it's not 2nd or 4th Gen based I'm good.

I can't wait until that topic comes up on GM FastLane Blog and ...perhaps....Bob Lutz comments on it. It will be interesting....trust me.

The more it comes up the more I like the idea of a Torana sized 5th gen.......
