Sorry if this has been posted. Very vague, could be anything but if your baking in nostalgia I say 35 years of affordable performance tastes the best.

Cars & TrucksZeta Not the End of RWD Performance

By Bob Lutz
GM Vice Chairman

Some news broke today about a reshuffling of our product plan, and I just want to clear one thing up before people get carried away.

Yes, we have canceled our plans to build rear-wheel-drive vehicles off the Zeta architecture. But that does not mean we've canceled plans to build rear-drive vehicles altogether.

We did not cancel the Zeta plans to save money, or to divert funds elsewhere that would've been used for product development.

We are simply reallocating resources (human and financial) to pull some other programs ahead and get other vehicles to market sooner. The press speculates this means we're doing it to get our next-generation large SUVs and pickups out sooner. You could see how one might reasonably come to such a conclusion.

Rest assured, we remain committed to developing RWD, premium,
high-performance, affordable vehicles, perhaps even a few with a trace of nostalgia baked in.

 

Oh Bob Lutz...

You Tease.. :giggle: :giggle:




<====== Has grown quite numb to the issue. Nice to hear. Looks like our insiders were right about not going nuts when the news broke. :blah:

 

show me dont tell me...

-peart

 

I think that Charlie was right on The money about the blogs….just goes to show u that a source is invaluable and I hope that this is just the beginning of more hints

 

Finally a post worthy of a signature change.

 

I want to watch as someone takes that one like about nostalgia as a hint to a retro Camaro and go off the deep end...

 

Camaro will return. It's not a question of if - it is a question of when, and in what form.

When: 2008? 2009? 2010?
Form: Only God knows that one - and I wouldn't believe anybody else at this point in time, no matter how cryptic they like to talk or how high they pretend to be connected.

 

This is the most positive thing we've gotten out of Lutz so far.

Of course, it could just mean a new Chevelle SS too.

 

Could mean "camaro". Could mean retro GTO, could mean the SSR won't be cancelled. Could mean alot. Could mean nothing.

 

SSR has nothing to do with the comments from Lutz.

 

Cancel the damn SSR,get rid of that ****ing thing...

 

Offer a fixed hard top version and drop the price below $30K and I'll buy one.

 

they have one hell of an exhaust note too. at auto show in motion people were revving them like mad just to hear the engine, myself included.

 

They do have a sweet exhaust note and jg95 has my exact formula for the best SSR,but it was only intended to be a short production run from the start and I think it has run its course.
I'll take a sub 30k El Camino SS as a replacement any day.
