There probably isn't much, engineering wise, that would be different between a Chevelle & a next gen CTS-Coupe either ...


I just thought of something though ... a new Monte Carlo might have a better business case than a Chevelle. Take the long wheel base version of the Alpha platform to be used on the CTS, then give the car an interior volume similar to the ATS. Coupe only body style, with a very long hood. Will it be a niche vehicle? Absolutely. But so would a Chevelle. But the Monte Carlo would at least be much more differentiated from everything else in the Chevy lineup. It probably has much more recognition in the market today too. It could also lead to a Buick Rivera, which would give the brand a halo car with no obvious competition from Cadillac
