I hope a volume sedan is the first Chevy Alpha. Using a low volume coupe to start up production makes the business case more difficult.

True, they don't have such a hot track record.

I have no problem with platform sharing with Chevy, but I don't like that Caddy is getting FWD platforms. Using Theta Premium and Lambda mean the Cadillacs need to be AWD only.

That could be the case. The current Camaro will need to show some sales success, if we're to see a new one.

I agree about the AWD, I don't know how that may clash with CAFE though.

I'm not sure what might or might not come first - but I wouldn't be surprised if Chevy gets both a coupe and sedan.
