Not for anything, my description above was aimed directly at the ATS. If the Camaro is built on this chassis, it will have an effect on its shell dimensions. That's not to say that the car should be boring, but that the Camaro will need to work (struggle) to stay away from the steam-lined and IMO boring and predictable look that this ATS coupe seems to exhibit.
lolwut.

Malibu is probably one of the more boring cars in the lineup right now. The '14 refresh helped slightly but the side profile of the car is utterly forgettable.

And Alpha is easily scalable. You really can't use ATS Coupe to figure much about the 6th gen simply because it's still a ways off.

I can tell you right now the engine lineup for ATS in a short while will be completely different than what it is now.
