Leave the outdated floaty-boats to Toyota and Buick.

GM will need to unload all of their foreign subsidiaries (with the exception of GM China, and GM Korea) in order for their "surgical" bankruptcy to ever get off the ground. Goodbye Opel, so long GM Middle East, nice knowing you GM Australia.
It started with Saab, and Fiat is looking at taking a controlling share in Opel, so we shall see.

Wait. Fuck.

Others have already said it. Chevy G8. Or rename it Caprice/Impala/Chevelle/whatever. Christ, just call it the Chevy Awesome and be done with it.

I know fuel economy is a big deal, but I'm willing to bet they could get a Zeta-based Malibu to within a few MPG of a FWD Malibu.

Save the RWD for the Impala.

Two doors, AWD, six-speed, and maybe the DI V6 out of the Camaro.
That would be bitchin'.
So long as the don't name it "Monte Carlo".

Actually either a Zeta based Impala or STS/DTS seem to be the most likely. GM had stopped future work on the Zeta platform. I thought they would hav just continued on with EpII and W in the future at this point. Actually why is there still work done on both W and EpII?

Too bad they didn't actually, y'know, do anything under the surface of the turd.

You do know that the W platform is essentially dead, right? After this year, only the current Impala will be based on it, and probably not for long.

Seeing that when the G8 was released, the V8 was stuck with a slushbox, and the base was too underpowered to be fun to drive(comes with a stick? can't remember), only those too sissy to drive stick would go for the V8 GT. Yeah they finally got GXP out late last year with a proper tremec 6-speed, but by then everyone knew GM was on the brink of going bankrupt, and who in their f'n right mind would buy a car that might not have parts available very soon??
