Now that ZETA is dead, is Velite dead as well, or will it move to the Sigma as well??And what of the twin turbo, 400+hp version spoke of by Lutz and assistant at the New York International Auto Show, dead, alive or merely concept?

 

The Velite (Riviera?) is alive and well, and supposedly still on target for 2008.

It will be made on a modified version of an existing chassis. It was moved off Zeta some time before GM-NA said it was pulling the plug on that chassis.

Either "Velite" is uneffected by Zeta's cancellation here, or Zeta was cancelled and some veicles transfered to another chassis well before GM announced it.


BTW: according to some sources, the front end of the Velite concept will grace the next Buick sedan (after the LeCerne).

 

will it be out on sigma?

 

Why does Buick need Lucerne, LaCrosse, and another large RWD sedan? Whats next, an epsilon sedan? Lucerne should have been stillborne in favor of the upcoming RWD sedan.

 

The wrong people are in charge.
