Thank GOD....I was afraid for the longest time that there was a big enough movement against Zeta that would kill it (and it's so young and fruitful). If those people go bye-bye, then Zeta and Alpha can be GM's RWD duo. And quite a impressive team they would make.
Truth be told, I like Camaro as-it-is..I think it's the perfect size. Besides, in all reality, you can't shrink it anymore than it is without sacrificing interior space, cargo space, or the Long-hood-short-deck proportion that is a mandatory design feature of all pony cars. People complain that they want it to be 3-series sized...well...chop off that long nose we all love, and you have a 3-series-sized Camaro...that doesn't look like a Camaro anymore. If it was to be placed on Alpha, I suspect it would be on LWB Alpha...and so we wouldn't see a huge difference in attributes like weight and size.
Kinda off-topic...
But anyways, Alpha + Zeta == Kicka$$!! Because anything developed with use for a Cadillac in mind is going to be super well-mannered...But then give it to Chevy, and they can spice it up with the benefits of the Caddy-treatment as a side-effect.
This is really good to hear. I think cars like the Cruze, Volt, and new-new Malibu will clear a lot of space for RWD in GM's future lineup.
