Yea I don't know if GM made the Coupe 60 & the Camaro it would be risky. Either it should be the next 6th gen Camaro or make it & put whatever TT V6 engine GM going to use for the Cadillac ATS-V. I think that would appeal to a lot of people & then you would have the TT V6 Coupe 60 & the V8 Camaro

Holden Commodore could be built in US

The Holden Commodore’s long-term export hopes to North America may have been dealt a blow – before the revival has even begun.
US website Car and Driver has made the sensational claim that production of the Commodore sedan, wagon and ute – and the Caprice limousine and police car – will shift to North America from 2015.
The website says localised versions of the cars will migrate to a new platform and “full production will shift to North America”.
However, this is at odds with recent reports that Holden is trying to revive a Commodore export program to North America as early as next year.
It would be highly unusual for Holden or any manufacturer to invest in an export program to last only two years.
Holden spokeswoman Emily Perry told Drive: “Stories like these are hugely speculative and try and piece together snippets of information and whispers about possible future global plans.
“We’re not going to add fuel to the fire, we haven't announced details about our own future models for the Australian market, so we're not in a position to confirm, deny or announce details about other markets either.”
Drive understands Holden’s export of the Commodore will go ahead as planned from next year – although the manufacturer is yet to confirm this – and the model will likely run for four to five years.
But who will build the Commodore from 2018 – when the all-new generation car is due – remains unclear.
The 2018 Commodore/Chevrolet SS could indeed be built in North America – and depending on currency and other factors the vehicle may be imported into Australia.
This would free Holden to build another, more popular model on its local assembly line. In April the Commodore posted its second-lowest monthly sales result on record.
Holden currently builds the Cruze sedan and hatch, as well as the full range of Commodore and Caprice vehicles.
But given the dramatic decline in large-car sales, Holden is likely considering what else it could build at its Adelaide factory.
Small cars and compact softroaders are the two biggest segments of the Australian market: could Holden build a future generation Captiva locally?
Holden recently received a new round of taxpayer assistance – $275 million from state and federal governments – to continue manufacturing until 2022. But it did not specify which vehicles it would build.
