G8 St is still on and the G8 Wagon is gone, Buick is gone, Caddy is gone, Impala is gone, GTO/Monaro gone.

GMC may get a Ute quad cab show vehicle to test public reaction.

We will still stand a chance at these Zeta cars but the rest are gone. Development on the new Alpha is pushing on and if approved will and may be the new RWD work horse for all of GM's REW cars.

To hold up Capacity totals on the Camaro line and to supply GM with a 2 door coupe around the world GM looks to be exporting the Camaro most likley as a Chevy Camaro to other markets. Could this bring us the first LHD Camaro?? Will just have to wait and see.

It may be some bad news good news that the Camaro may have a more important and bigger roll than first decided.

I think they should rebadge it as the elcamino and it should look like this:

original pic not mine (someone had photoshopped camaro into wagon so i photoshoped it into a elcamino)
