Neither of you remember the show "Rides with Funkmaster Flex" on Spike (or was it TNN then?)

Current/recent GM intros...admittedly ALL FWD-based architecture:

Buick Regal - WB=108"; OL=190"; Curb=3580 (Base), 3688 (Turbo)' 3717 (GS)

Buick Verano - WB=106"; OL=184"; Curb=3300 (Base)

Chev Cruze LTZ Turbo - dimensions similar to Verano except Curb=3177

Camaro based on Alpha (ATS), which requires NVH numbers that are World Class, AWD capabilities, and with ride/handling parameters that should be WC as well...

All versions will require a minimum of 8 airbags, camera etc. as safety equipment/standards "improve"...

ATS = Regal, roughly, in size and in Curb.

So...how much dumbing-down will the Camaro-specific versions see? Not much, not likely...

Will the Camaro be the size of, and weight of, a Cruze? I think not. Not even in 4-cylinder form, which will be it's Standard version. Turbo 4 = 100+. V6 = Turbo 4 + a bit. V8 = V6 + 100 (HD drivetrain/brakes/rolling stock).

Again...conjecture...

This is being touted as a possible "Chevelle"...

http://jalopnik.com/5873286/is-a-che...o-show-concept

Could it, in fact, be a "proposal" for CAMARO, hiding in plain sight with a Chevelle badge on it?!

Verrrrrrry interesting Lowdown....looks to me like a futuristic version of the current Camaro body, I don't see Chevelle in that design, if retro has anything to do with it as the article suggests. Hmmmmm.....

The top fender bulges both front and rear remind me of the late '60s Corvair:

"Cadillac claims a less than 3,400-pound curb weight on the ATS will be one of the lowest in the segment along with nearly 50/50 weight balance".
