I know with the Mustang right now they're trying to make a lot of limited production versions and higher HP versions as well to appeal to a few more people. The one I dont really understand is the Saleen Extreme. Who would buy a $91,000 Mustang?

Thank you almighty one.
A larger RWD car is available on the WM chassis, which is what Holden calls the Long wheel base version of VE. The WM chassis or LWB Zeta, will be the basis for the STS/DTS replacement, and the Park Ave. If you go to Holden's website, you can see the Statesman/Caprice model, and that car is BIG. It would be on par with the B body Caprice/Impala of the 90's, only wheel base longer, and handling on top of quality are amzing.
CTS-V is still a midsized sedan/ full size, and the STS is big but not that much bigger. I dont think we will see Pontiac with that large of a car, but Buick, that shares the same showroom space, will as well as Caddy. Chevy might or might not get a version of the LWB, we will see. There is more to that story then I can type right now.
