Next year's NAIAS
Just for general information (Ted, FOG, & a few others here probally read this on another site I also visit).
I found out today DCX will in fact have at least 1 new RWD concept sedan at next season's auto shows as a preview to the upcomming LHX sedans (knowing DCX's history, maybe even the actual cars).
As we already know, GTO will be at Pontiac's display, Chevrolet will have a RWD concept coupe, Ford will intro Mach1 & possibly preview a derivitive of the new Mustang much like 93's Mach1 (speculating on my part). It stands to reason that if Chevy is displaying a RWD coupe, someone should be displaying a RWD sedan (I'm guessing Pontiac or Buick).
Should be quite a show.

Let me rephrase that. The DCX sedan concept was mentioned on another site about a month ago. Today from another source it was mentioned that the RWD sedan would likely be previewed at NAIAS.

I actually read that the Chevrolet coupe would be a 60s inspired design. So it could very well be, or it could be a pre-cursor to the C6.

I SO hope so. Something to do with the continuation of our car revealed at last hopefully (a Z28?! 
) and it'll give the M*****g guys and all competition something to think about, heh heh. Get the best back in the game. Fast.

Most all the detailed info I can get on concept cars tends to come just before press introductions, or after a few insiders have seen it (ie: I knew about Belair last fall, but not Solstice because Solstice was done at the last minute).

There is no way I can find out what it is or isn't, so I'd be lying if I said it was certainly Camaro or certainly Monte Carlo (I personally think it's Monte Carlo, but that's only a guess).

My guess is that it will be the next Corvette. But just think about how awesome it would be if it was a 5th gen Camaro instead

I wonder if this chevy coupe could be the low cost coupe with 60's corvette styling that was mentioned in the Chicago Tribune during the auto show there. It was to be shown in Chicago but wasnt since it wasnt driveable at that time.

That is exactly what I was talking about! Thanks, I couldn't remember where I had picked that information up.

Yeah, knowing Chrysler, the showcars will probably be thinly disguised production cars.
Like they did before the current generation LH's.
About the "Chevy Coupe": I don't think it will have anything to do with Camaro or Monte Carlo.
It may be a styling exercise to showcase where Chevy hopes to go taping into styling themes from the 60's (arguably, Chevys best era).
Think clean sheet styling mule.
A statement car.
Think of it this way:
remember when Cadillac showed the EVOQ?
They basicaly said that all Cadillac's will follow the themes established by it.
And soon afterwards, we got the CTS and so on...
The stylists are working hard to bring the styling direction at Chevrolet back to what it should be. They need a showcar to demonstrate what they are up to, and where the next Chevys are going.
It would be sweet if it where a Camaro though!
