Would that wise engineers name rhyme with.... slumber tree?

Sometime next year is grand. Get a few out there so I can take a look then order end of next year for 2013... as long as we are all still her after next December

Looks like a ... camo'd Cadillac to me. Put enough of that stuff on just about any midsize sedan and they'll all look pretty much the same. I'll reserve judgment until after I've seen it sans camo.

You've been following GM for how many years and haven't figured out the development cadence yet? I'm disappointed in you Fenstick.

This is something I'd definitely buy from GM other than the Camaro, especially now that the G8 is history. A V would be AWESOME. I can only imagine that being somewhere north of $50k. They should do a poor man's ATS-V in the form of some sort of V pack like what Lexus and BMW do for lesser IS and 3er models. A year away sounds about right seeing prepo cars rolling around with finalized design and so fourth. I thought I heard something about a concept at the NYIAS next month, but who knows? Would be nice!

Wouldn't that be a Camaro?

What....did they have some left over shark fins & just stuck one on top?

They really need to come up with a better solution.

For all we know, they do have an alternative. But this is a camo'd prototype. The new system may not be working quite yet, or this could be part of the camo. Stick a sharkfin on the prototype and you'll be expecting it on the production car.

Just a couple alternative theories

Is anyone else frightened this will be another Catera?

No, because the Catera is getting bigger, this will slot in below it. CTS = Catera Touring Sedan
