Question "...a WHOLE BUNCH of new GM products -- 4 Chevrolets and counting......"

I'm in San Diego as I type this:

Sunoco Camaro from SEMA -- a Silver SS (non RS) -- with the GRAY interior..............(quick! someone grab a Camera!!)

Unfortunately the Silver car does not have a 'grained' interior, thus it is not available for you to get in and out of.......

I have a review next Tuesday of the Camaros for NAIAS -- and it appears that there will be an SS on the floor -- it MAY NOT have all the graining finished -- that's why I'm not sure if you will be able to get in and out of it.

Also on display at NAIAS: Silver LT coupe and "BlacK" SEMA concept.

(........not to mention a WHOLE BUNCH of new GM products -- 4 Chevrolets and counting......)
Who wants to make guesses on what vehicles Scott may be talking about?

Funny thing about that. In the 2009 GM performance parts catalog there is a comment under the LSA Supercharged 6.2L create engine that says "Possible Applications • Build your own Z28!"

But how many (if any) and which Pontiacs will be there.... I am holding out slim hopes for the Solstice Coupe to become a reality & would love to see one (or more) in person at the Chicago auto show.

Hmmph, not sure what to make of that. Do they mean this is what you have to do to make a 5th Gen Z28 or is this what will be in the 5th Gen Z28??

I see a few Third Gens in there. Alota nice car pictures actually.

Perhaps both.

GM: "HERE. Take this engine, shove it in a Camaro, and build your own Z28. We'll do it ourselves once we have enough money."

A hatch! WTF, that just ruined that car. If I wanted a Crossfire I would have looked into Chrysler. The hatch is so dumb. Honestly the only cars to ever pull it off well were the Camaro and Firebird(4th gen variants) and only because they really didn't look the traditional part.
