Seems Buick will be using this also, instead of Cadillac's chassis. Interesting stuff. I'm going to post a copy of this post to the "press release" thread.

The problem I have always heard with Sigma for F-body has been the firewall. The CTS has a really tall firewall and therefore a lowslung coupe wouldn't work really well. Now if VE, as well have current Holdens, can change the fron firewall structure while using as many of the rear suspension components as possible then the cost could be spread around very well. Thus making a LOW cost performance version very likely. Red Planet, Guion, Pacer, Werm, other insiders does this sound like a business case or what?
