Ok...quick run down

Camaro, as of most rumors ,is going to be built off Zeta, GM's new RWD/AWD chassis. Â*
This will NOT be under the Impala as the Impala just got an update. Â*

GTO on its present chassis is said to end in MY06. Â*That is when Holden goes to Zeta cars. Â*

Thing is that GTO might not come back due to chassis complications. Â*There are rumors going around that the Zeta program might be changed for GM NA. Â*

GTO is not a Camaro, and a Camaro is not a GTO. Â*Things are going to be a little clearer in about 5-6 months. Â*

As of now, all cars are locked in up to the MY07. Â*Barring any serious changes at GM, they are ready to go. Â*Camaro could or could not be in this mix, and 2008 could be the year it comes out. Â*
GM's 100th Birthday is in 2008. Â*

GM is also working hard on the new GMT-900 trucks that will raise the bar over Ford, Dodge and Nissan, and the battle will continue. Â*SUV's will be out first, followed by the trucks.

I have put it this way...A Pony car is in the Muscle car family. Â*Pony cars smaller and lighter, and tend to handle better. Â*Muscle cars are mid sized coupes and sedans with big V8 power. Â*
The idea of the "Muscle Car" ended in the 70's. Â*
The name should change, but its good marketing, like "Hemi". Â*

Infinity or Nissan's Skyline has been said to be anything from a turbo VQ35, to twin turbo, to the FX's 4.5 V8. Â*The 5.6 might be too big for the little Nissan, and I mean that in physical size, not displacement. Â*We all know, at least I hope we all know, that OHC engines are MUCH larger then a OHV engines of equal cyl numbers. Â*Who knows and who cares. Â*It will cost out the ass, and why bother? Â*A loaded G35 coupe is over 35k. Â*Now throw in a V8 or a Twin turbo V6 (ever look in that engine bay btw?), and back it up with a 6spd trans that wont blow, a stronger drive line, bigger brakes, different suspension, AWD, and you have yourself a VERY expensive car, probably near 50k. Â*
You could get a Vette with the same hp that would be much faster and handle better, but hey thats me.
Skyline is trademarked by Renault, Nissans parent company I belive. Â*

As far as the Ute coming to the US as an El Camino, its a possiblity now that the FTA was raised on importing trucks from Austrailia. Â*This means that we could get Ute's shipped her much like the GTO. Â*Only that would tripple there production and Holden would be running itself into the ground.

Also, Evo will be made off the Lancer/Caliber platform. Evo exists becaus teh Lancer exists. Mitsu has NO money and the only way the Evo would ever be here is because of teh Lancer.
Caliber is the Neon replacement. Mitsu will share more stuff with Dodge and Chrysler as time goes on. Thats how Mitsu will stay in the US.
