Interesting quote about an unapproved new car...
http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content...._code=06449018
Just a little interesting nugget in there... If an unapproved car on the Delta platform can still be produced and ready for MY2005... why couldn't an unapproved Sigma product do the same?
Something to think about for all the "No Camaro is even possible until 2006-7 now" people...
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2"> GM hopes to solve the problem by introducing entry-level cars on its global Delta architecture, probably for the 2005 model year. But that program has not been approved. </font>

IMO the Camaro might be back faster than many think. 
Look how fast they are being with the GTO, more commonly know as the Grand GTO.

Kindof like when they moved the Camaro from Van Nuys, CA to St. Therese back in 93.

More commonly known as the Grand GTO? Who's making it common? Certainly not this board. The 7 or 8 of you are the only people calling the GTO that. That certainly doesn't make it common.

Also, I wonder how much of a priority Cavalier is anyway... it's been in it's current generation since 95. It , too, is overdue for a change, and we know a mojor change is at least a few years away now that GM invested in a slight exterior re-do for Cavalier & Sunfire.
As for the Camaro team being tied up in the C6... well, ya gotta figure most of the C6 is in the can, design wise anyway... I'm sure the preliminary work on Camaro could be started at any time... if they want to.

Well I think if you are going to make fun of the GTO's similarity to the GP, you should at least come up with something with a ring to it, like GPO.
