No, its towards the large end of the midsize segment so it can shrink down a bit and still be a midsize car. The cruze is a large compact.

I love all the oxymorons that come into play whenever this topic is addressed.

Whatever that is it is very obviously rear wheel drive or a front wheel drive car with rear wheel drive proportion and a longitudinal engine placement even beyond what Audi has done. Since there haven't even be any vague rumors of GM doing that latter I'm going with the former.

Well, I took it as a whole different platform than the G8, which is why it made me sad lol.

I'm guessing it's the replacement for the current Impala. Only time will tell if it will actually be called the Impala.

Next-gen Impala isn't due until almost mid-decade.

Does have alot of the same dimensions and look to it as the Caprice. We could have a match...

Doesn't have the Caprice's rear overhang.

It really throws people for a loop when they hear that the Camaro is a compact

What was it they used to determine that...interior volume?

Right....I wouldn't argue with a size reduction to reflect that designation a little better.......
