When did the first RFQ's go out for Solstice? I would think this si the best timing GM is capable of at this point.

Re: Zeta Aftermath....

I just can't seem to believe they would let the 40th pass! I'm stickin' with my Smoke & Mirrors Theory! Zeta Smeta, I don't care what they call the platform, as long as they get it done in a timely fashion, 09 ain't timely! I might have to get a Mudstain! NOT!

Does he ever really share anything positive? Some people were all over Z284ever's case for being cyptic, but I think Josh gives very little for the amount of crap that he talks.

Edit:Bah, I should be easier on the kid, but his recent flamings of Branden and others leave a bad taste in my mouth...

Re: Zeta Aftermath....

I always thought of the idea that GM will save the Camaro for GM's 100th birthday in 08.

Re: Zeta Aftermath....

Short article commenting on Zeta in todays GoAuto

NO SETBACK FOR VE

GENERAL Motors’ decision last month to
abandon certain North American passenger
cars built on Holden-engineered Zeta rear-drive
architecture will not affect the forthcoming VE
Commodore, according to Holden executive
director of sales and marketing, Ross McKenzie.
The VE series, which is based on the Zeta
architecture, is still due for release in about 12
months.
“The (General Motors) Zeta decision doesn’t
affect the local decisions in any way,” Mr
McKenzie said. “The engineering side of things
were local investment decisions for Commodore.
The development of the plan here and the (global)
program was entirely around the Commodore
requirement.
“We were going to have a global vehicle
line engineer (Gene Stefanyshyn) … who at
the last minute didn’t come. He would have
come here and begun work on the specifi c
engineering requirements for the US program so
the cancellation of the program doesn’t have any
bearing on us in that respect.”
