Which would make two chevys on Delta IIs.. Cruze and Malibu. Wat?
Really, they need to consider how the Impala is placed. They have no fleet RWD car and the Malibu is nearly the same size or will be with the next refresh. The Impala is irrelevant as Mitsubishi is in the car market..
Unless your sources are sighting 'Lock on to Taurus and raep raep raep!'..
Big ole quandary here, glad I'm not a part of product planning at GM.. I'd own Tylenol outright in a heartbeat.

Cruze is Delta II. Current Malibu is Epsilon I, 2012 Malibu is Epsilon II. CTS is on Sigma II.
The reason there's so much confusion is that the Global Epsilon II platform has spawned a ton of variants. There's the SWB EpII (Insignia/Regal), LWB EpII (LaCrosse, supposedly 2012 Malibu), and Premium EpII (Cadillac XTS/2013? Impala). The NG Impala more or less has Taurus in its sights, the problem is that it's taking forever to get here.
