Is it going to be imported from Oz, or will it be built in Canada alongside the Camaro?

So, in your opinion, the base 430 HP Corvette and 400+ HP Camaros suck?

This is OFN but true.

And no, it will not be called "Impala" nor "Caprice."

The next Impala will continue to be FWD and the Caprice (LWB VE Commodore/Zeta) will be police-only.

This will get a new name (no one knows yet). Chevelle maybe?
