Like snizzle said above...thats just the way it is, and I agree with the practice if it makes sense, which in this case I think it does make sense.

Alpha was designed to be a modular, and lightweight modern chassis. The ATS and CTS get nothing but praise in the aspect of ride and handling, so I'm very happy to see that Camaro will share this platform.

Camaro might cost the same as Mustang, but its a win for GM to be able to use this shared chassis. Also, because it is used so much (helping keep costs down) maybe that allows GM to use more light material in the structure than they otherwise would have if it was just one dedicated chassis for the Camaro.

When it comes to Alpha I don't consider it a compromise, but in reality a win for GM and for us. Was Camaro going on Zeta a compromise....maybe so because of size and weight.
