He's apparently still somewhat involved with the next "F-body" program (not presently called Camaro).

GuySince some of these guys are talking, I'll simply repeat what they are saying and leave it at that. The only issue is the car's name. The consensus is that though the car in question could be called Camaro, it's a little on the large side. Apparently not Monte Carlo big, but bigger than Mustang. You'll probally see some of these blurbs in car rag's "Rumor Sections" in the February-April timeframe.
I'd be surprised if nothing official is said about the car this auto show season (not everything is revealed at Detroit, Charger was 1st mentioned officially last spring at one of Europe's shows). Don't expect an announcement of "We're going to build...", but a Solstice-like "We're trying to get...".
Watch Bob Lutz. He's the only GM official who can talk about new products this early, and often does. I suspect if someone in the press asks him about the car the right way, and leaves out the word Camaro, he just might give a surprising response.
