G8 Zeta Platform May Still be Alive (4door Vette Compliment)
I think the idea of the G8 living on in another form is reasonably certain. Maybe a high end 4door compliment to the Vette... read article

A four door Vette? I think they risk giving every Corvette owner and fan a stroke if that ever happens.

Sounds awesome...right up until the part about a "four door Corvette." As long as he means LIKE a 4-door Corvette and not a 4-door called Corvette, I say do it!

why don't people stop and think? There isn't the slightest chance that this will happen, no way, no how...

Why don't people stop and read? They aren't saying it's going to be branded a corvette but just that they're looking at doing a 4door super sedan, possibly because of contractual obligations they made to export the sedans from Aussieland.

but it is happening. the G8 is going to be re-badged as a chevy not a corvette. in the article it even says "G8 could return as a high-end Chevrolet envisioned as a four-door to complement the automaker’s iconic Corvette." the OP needs to edit his subject title and some of you need to read the article |

That's what I was getting at... not to be taken literally according to the "tweet" from the conversation with Lutz... Keep an open mind people.

"High end brakes, huge engine, big and fast. Like four seat corvette" What did I just describe? Oh it MUST be a four seater vette and not something like a Camaro SS or something crazy. The article didn't even insinuate that it would be Corvette branded (well the title did... to get people's attention). |

It's not gonna be an actual corvette, it's just gonna be another sibling of it Either way I liked the G8. Wouldn't mind seeing it stick around.

this has already been debunked.... the g8 will not be recreated under any other name or brand... if you want a performance sedan like the g8 gxp buy a cts-v
