Excellent! Perhaps this will actually turn out to be a hot version of the next Impala?

Hopefully it looks much better than the THING in the picture here.

If they offerd a V6 option it will be a sales hit since gas prices are just crazy.

V6, or V8 the hey thing is RWD! I never understood why they didn't make the Pontiac G8 (Holden commodore) as the malibu and malibu ss and the longer wheelbase version as the impala and impala. And bring the Holdent maloo ute over here as the El Camino. With the price of fuel I bet it could win over alot of buyers of Half ton pickups that don't use them for hauling towing ETC. You could still tow smaller things and still have a pickp bed for hauling, yet get far better gas mileage and better performance, there by having your cake and eating it.

I'm excited for this news but the new Zeta is coming for 2015. This vehicle will only be available for two years and then a new model will arrive! Why waste the money? Anyhow, Chevy has WAY too many iconic names. Whose bright idea was it to just go with Chevrolet SS?

On a side note: This further proves Cadillac has a proper flagship on the way! Woo-hoo!
