But AWD will be available at some point, it is already engineered for it.

Perhaps you should read here more often they are RWD with AWD coming soon.

Im not saying the GTO-ish plan of a low production, high content "boatload" wont sell. But I do think the idea of building and seeling that here is about 2 years behind.

Which.... once again... (kicks dead horse) has me thinking that GM is behind its own gun.

(no need for the "Well GM just cant make anyone happy" posts, im not the one treading water from past decisions..... Or am I )

They look very nice, will definitely be the best looking Lumina and Caprice if they ever make into production in the states.

yeah, but for novelty alone it would be neat to see one or two done up wouldnt it? If its already set up just to see a magazine or something do it just cause like a V8 Solstice.

I just now saw the Lumina. I think the Commodore should be the Chevelle here rather than lumina. My personal opinion.

AWD was engineered out of the Camaro. It has a completely different engine cradle than the other Zetas.

I think they look incredible! They're very aggressive for being 4 door sedans. I'd sure buy one if I was in the market for a "family car"
