I know for a fact that GM dealers (I am in tight with one up here) have been told to expect 3 new car line ups at the end of 2006, one of which is set for the GTO and one of the others is supposed to be for a smaller, Zeta platform car (same as the new GTO) but information is limited. all the Â*dealer knows is that the platform is going to be an "F" car. I can't imagine GM putting another car in the line up with an F designation that isn't going ot be a new Camaro style car. whether it is called the camro or not has yet to be seen due to complications with GM's canadian branch. Apparently there is an agreement that the camaro and firebird will only be built in Canada if they come back with that name (rumor only, I can find no factual info about this deal). But also there are pictures of 2 new cars being tested in Australia by Holden. I'll see if I can get copies. They are both low slung 2 door coupes. The emblems on the back simply said "SS" and "WS6". Â*Now if that isn't a big hint I don't know what is. In fact I would almost put money on that being their new names with the attraction people seem to have for the alphabet soup cars nowadays. Also they are rumored to be testing a BRAND NEW engine in them for a mid level car. It is apparently a turbo V-6 pushing 385HP so you would have at least 3 engine choices, Base V6 ( camaro/firebird), turbo V6 (Z28, Formula), LS2 and maybe even the LS7 (SS and Trans-Am). Of course I am sure GM has tested many cars they never build, so let's cross our fingers. Also look for the new El-Camino in 06 imported by Holden.
