In my opinion, they should release the Chevelle and here is why:
If they were to use the Camaro's platform to revive the Chevelle they could continue to produce the Chevelle long after the 6th Gen Camaro debuts. This would ensure that the R&D cash used on the 5th Gen could definitely turn a solid profit even though the current Camaro specific chassis is only 5 years old. Alot of the 5th gens cues and styling could carry over to the Chevelle including the 4.5 link IRS suspension and LS3/L99 and trannys. They wouldn't have to just scrap the whole design, they could offer it in a revised CTS-V like design. It would be big, alot of luxury, maybe add some more roof on it to fix the visiblity, take the wheelbase and length up about 6 inches and make it look like a Chevelle. The could squeeze the lemon for every drop so a hasty redesigned Camaro won't show any loss because it will basically still be a 5th gen Camaro underneath. Instead of just getting the 5 year run from the Camaro, GM could actually stretch the chassis's life out a couple of years and make profit. Abandoning the platform needs to happen on the Camaro but that dosen't mean it has to be completely thrown out all together... I vote Chevelle SS. |

Big bodied cars? might be hard to pull off in a couple years, but having a Chevelle SS that is 196 inches long isn't much bigger than the Camaro is now.

I think it's a pretty solid idea, probably one of the main reasons GM choose the Zeta platform was because the worldwide sales involving Holden most likely paid for the R&D and initial production cost so slapping it on a Camaro was met with minimum cost set back. So why not push the chassis out to 2016 letting GM redesign the Camaro to compete with the Mustang and still cashing in on the platform until it becomes impractical (and illegal).
How much do you think it would cost GM to re-skin the 5th gen and badge it Chevelle? |

I wish I could be at Chicago on Wednesday, not only is it my birthday, but soon to be the birthday of another great GM performer. Guess I'll just have to cover my screen in birthday wrapping paper & unwrap it to symbolize Fbodfather's gift to me. LOL.

You don't understand how the development of a new car works right? Extensive R&D would have to be done on any car, no matter what. It's not as simple as change something here and there and all of a sudden you have a brand new car. Creating a new car would be just as expensive as anything, for what? A car that no one knows if it will sell. A car that has no real heritage behind it. R&D on a any car, whether it uses the Zeta chassis or not, will cost money. IF there is a new car based on the Zeta, it's better to do something that has a substantial marketing backing, something that the general public will want. |

Even if someone at GM got the idea to bring the Chevelle back, it would still take quite a few years for the car to go into production.

Well a credible source informed me that there is a possibility of the following models appearing at this show in Chicago. While I cannot go into detail as to who told me this, I can however share the details.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . it will be "Camaro-based" which could mean......... another GM vehicle with Camaro parts to it another Chevy based on Camaro architecture an aftermarket Camaro endorsed by GM a limited edition Camaro the Camaro Z28 a one-off Camaro a Chevelle a Camaro ZL1 a Camaro ZR1 a Beretta a Camaro hybrid a Camaro submarine a Camaro rocket ship a Camaro racoon a Camaro-shaped bubble I will state that I do have very credible sources, and that whatever he says is the shizzzzzzzz! |
