That kind of kills the idea of an 07 camaro. Do they really plan to wait that long? Ford and Chrysler will mop the floor with them if they wait that long.

It was posted on gminsidenews.com GM sidelined the new platform that was coming from holden and said it wouldn't build a rwd till around 2010. I'll try to find the link. But it was posted a few months ago.

They aren't working with a platform from Holden, it's Sigma/Sigma Lite now.

Sorry, but the new RWD Buick sedan goes into production next spring, about 3.5 years before 2010

Zeta was just a name for VE cars. VE production starts in 2006 down under. Sigma-lite will be used in the USA instead of Zeta/VE

Re: With RWD GM cars put off until 2010

Can we put a lock on posting till people have read a certain number of topics within the 5th gen forum? I think we could prevent a lot of these off base threads.

To make this exciting, what do you preferr SS or Z/28?

I like both, but I'm probably more a Z/28 guy! I guess, I like that its exclusive to Camaro, as well as the history of it.

Re: With RWD GM cars put off until 2010

I am a Z28 fan myself. But on the pontiac side it's gotta be a WS6.



I feel for the guy who started this thread, it is confusing sometimes to figure out what is going on. BTW how are GTO sales going, what is a huge turnaround? are they gonna sell the 18-20000 units that they orginally thought? When the car magazine had GTO vs Mustang comparasion and the GTO basically blasted the GT and they still picked the GT I knew that would help sales. All the GT haters knew what the tool of choice was for dismantling a Mustang.

Too bad the next gen GTO looks like crap. MAYBE it will be better in person.

I did the same thing in another thread to see if people want turbo z/28, and people started respoding... such humour, so wasted....
