The CT6 (122" wheelbase) is supposed to be the smaller sedan to ride on Omega with plans for a larger sedan as well as a 7-passenger luxury crossover in the future.

Another example - the Buick Avista concept rides on Alpha and has a 110" wheelbase. The Avenir concept is CT6 sized and rides on Omega.

The better question is, what would an Omega based Chevelle weigh...(think Challenger's 116" wheelbase)
You are right...Omega is not designed for the small-midsize segment.

All my comment was, was just something based on "what ifs". That's it. It was not based on any truths.

But Omega is widely different than Alpha, or other platforms GM is currently using.

My "what if" was simply to say, what if they build an Omega-small for smaller cars. What could the weight be then?

But currently, I'm guessing the platform would be too expensive for use on non-premium vehicles.
