Is it the Z28? Or the civilian Caprice SS?? Who knows...

Probably not Caprice.

Also, I keep reading there working on an all new car that's not derivative of any other existing car, but every time the Commodore and G8 get mentioned as being that new car or based on. How is that all new and not derivative?

I would love to see something from Chevy that is all new, and not based on any existing or past name plate or designs. When was the last time that actually happened? And what car was it?

VE Commodore and VF Commodore will be fairly different.

Equinox and Vue are on different platforms. Theta-II vs Theta I.

VF Commodore. Not Camaro.

714 units sold last month is terrible.

that australlian car looks sick!

but i would buy a chevelle without a doubt, a new 70-71 would be awesome!

huggercamaro21 · 04-26-2012, 04:53 PM

When will car be announced?

MauriSSio · 04-26-2012, 05:31 PM

the G8 and other Commodores look weak and way too generic. I hope they redesign it and give it some Impala SS type design cues!!!

Why is Chevrolet Captiva mentioned on the roll sheet? That's not sold in the USA.
Avalanche is dead and will be long gone by 2014.

How does 1 rumour equal a company wide trend?

Calling a rebadged Holden sedan a Chevelle will go over about as well with the enthusiast community as calling the the Monaro a GTO went over a few years ago.

Captiva is a fleet only rebadge of the Vue, intended to keep the Equinox fleet volume low (and therefore keep their resale value high)

Yeah, so generic.

It'll run circles around any Impala SS.

Meanwhile ... here is the oh-so-inspiring Impala SS, circa 2007:

Or the highly acclaimed '96 Impala SS...

Indeed. Plenty of bold & unique design cues for GM to use

"Commodore"....they may as well release it as a Buick. That name sounds like it belongs in a Chevy Chase vacation movie and a car my 84 year old Dad would drive.

Give it a "fresh", new name!

Commodore is what its called in Australia. Allegedly, the US version is going to be called 'SS'

Remember all the stories a while ago about them planning to import RWD Holden "Caprices" to sell to police departments and everyone was hoping that there'd be a civilian version? Maybe that is exactly what is going to happen?
