It was conceived of to hold vehicles (sedans, coupes, possibly hatchbacks; think baby-Zeta) that would directly target BMW's 3 series; hence the baby-Caddy. And at first, it was only expected to hold the Ecotec's, but a V6 is more than possible for a High-Featue engine. A V8 isn't expected to make it, however. It COULD, but it would negatively effect handling, and wieght distribution, etc.

Besides that little V8 wrinkle...from what little has been heard about the platform, it's seems like a GREAT candidate for a 6th gen Camaro. A smaller mid-sized coupe with a low wieght(again, think 3-series), which will contribute greatly to handling, and power to weight ratio. That's all I know...if there's a certain someone who would like to add to this, please do.

Sounds really really good.... hope it's true. Are these reliable/credible sources????
