this just about tells me what we should see in the us. i've heard of a rear wheel drive sedan coming after camaro, i just wonder if it will be the return of the impala ss rear wheel drive. one other thing i noticed is that the holden hp ratings for the ls2 are 38 hp less than the gto's 400. i guess that 262 hp v6 holden uses may be the 300 hp v6 that is suppose to go in the 5th gen.
