    Depending on my cash-flow in five years or so...either the G8, the next CTS-V, or an Audi S5 will be my next car.

    Oil seems to be the root of a lot of problems...so I'm doing my part to eliminate that problem...

    It's actually FWD. There was a big deal about it being the first time a small block V8 has been used in a FF setup.

    I think he meant the upcoming Impala will be RWD.

    The foglights and fenders look retarded, but the rest isn't bad.

    We might be waiting a little longer to see a RWD version. According to C&D, the next generation Impala has been halted for the time being.

    The Pontiac G8 and the Chevy Camaro are still a go—barely—but uncertainty over possible strict new fuel-economy regulations has jeopardized plans for a rear-wheel-drive Chevy Impala and other vehicles from this architecture.

    yeah I was pretty positive that the new Impalas were going to be RWD since it is being built on the same platform as the new Camaro

    Yea, those foglights look a little stupid...I like big fenders though.

    I think the Commodore SS-V looks better than this HSV version.






    Damn I want this car.

    I'm sure you'd be able to get your way.

    I'd definitely do an ADM conversion if/when I get one. I wrote it here...you guys can hold me to that!

    I love the GTO...if you've followed my pre-SAAB posts, you'll clearly see that.

    If I have the opportunity to get a slightly new/improved version though...I'll go for it. I like how these look too.

    Hmmm. Maybe they were referring to the latest version of the small block. I'll re-read the article.

    IIRC, it wasn't saying it's the first time it's been done ever.

    Edit: Found it...

    The most notable news about the model, though, is the SS model's use of the Generation IV small-block V8 in a front-wheel drive Chevrolet for the first time, and the first V8 in a Chevrolet sedan since the 1996 Caprice.
    Left out the Gen IV part.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_K_platform_%28FWD%29

    "The front-wheel drive K-body was used for full-size Cadillacs from 1980 onwards. K-bodies were sedans; coupés used the nearly identical GM E platform. The 1986– K- and E-bodies were produced at GM's high-tech Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly plant."

    Not as much as Ford. They're having to sell all those manufacturers they bought because they're pulling the company under. Those purchases were a very dumb move on their part. GM still has a little common sense. Although they could kill off some of their brands like GMC. It doesn't have a model that's solely unique to it.
