Maybe a four wheel drive Holden in the works with a GM LSx engine?

Sounds wicked!

I have read somewhere that the Holdin platform was only temporary for the GTO anyway. In a few years they are supposed to be built on the new Sigma (I think that was what it was called) platform along with the new caddy and the new Camaro that they are not allowed to discuss.

Anyone find this a bit wacky? Enough to be a hoax?
Check this out, in case you didn't notice:

"Our Holden source, who works in Holden's Liaisons with Industry and Economies of Scale department" = L.I.E.S.

"Sources within Toyota's future products department, Creation and Rationalisation of Automotive Prototypes" = C.R.A.P.

"The team will run under the Toyota International Motorcorp Team Australia MotorSport banner, or TIM TAMS" - Tim Tams are Australian bicuits.

Just seemed a little weird. Too weird to be true.
