Just a few thoughts. While Bob Lutz was at Chrysler, they became pretty notorious for springing the following year's production cars at NAIAS & LAIAS (in fact, the 2004 New Yorker will debut at the next one).
Earlier this year GM announced it would begin producing RWD cars again. This fall we already know there will be more than a couple of RWD concepts. I've been figuring RWD cars returning to Chevy & Pontiac in '05 as '06s, but does it make any sense that GM would announce a return to RWD over 3 years before it actually shows up in showrooms?
I think there are certain cars (maybe or maybe not including Camaro) that are much farther along than GM is letting on.</font>

It does make sense to look at Lutz's history... and this is certainly the case....
