Lutz mentions 6th gen Camaro!
http://carsguide.news.com.au/site/ne...ommodore_safe/
“Holden is very much a key part of GM’s rear drive future,” Lutz said. “There’s going to have to be a replacement for the next generation Camaro … and Cadillac sedan and for those cars you’d really hate to switch over to front-wheel-drive.”
Beyond the next model, in 10 years time the Commodore could be smaller and lighter and capable of being powered by four-cylinder, V6 and V8 power, as well as being capable to accept hybrid technology, Lutz said.

It's good to hear that thoughts on the future of Camaro are taking place. That's very, very good to hear.
It also sounds like there IS an evolution of Zeta in place...be it Alpha or "Zeta lite"...something's definitely going on. But apparently not for about a decade, so that's that.

.... although some big torquey electric motors driving the real wheels might be nice. As long as it can do 0-60 in under 5 sec. I guess a hybrid would be ok.

So what's this article about?

Gee it's hard to keep up with what's going on with RWD exactly... no wonder GM are taking too long to deliver product to market, they're probably just as confused as I am.

I love the math in this quote.
“We’ve said that we are going to focus Pontiac down to one or two entries – and for the time being one of the two entries will be the G8, the other being the Pontiac Vibe, and of course the Solstice Roadster and Coupe – and that’s basically the Pontiac line-up.”

I hope it sells too.
But if we are to believe Bob Lutz's comments, it's not just afew ostracized enthusiasts who feel this Camaro is too big and heavy - it is in fact, GM management.
I must be getting through to him.
