i don't know if it's going to be in 2008 but i've also read that it's going to happen. If you google zeta platform and bring up the wikipedia search link it will give you a list of current and future cars on that gm platform.

Most of the large bodied cars should be going to rear wheel drive... specifically all the w-body cars.

Yes, this is all but Gm confirmed and will likely be 2009my. I believe they're going to eliminate the Monte Carlo for a while while they switch over all Impala builds to the Oshawa (canada) #1 plant, and begin setting up for the Zeta platform at Oshawa #2.

Check out www.impalafest.com on 9/22. Jon Moss, "Father of the Impala SS" and also head of the Specialty Vehicles Division of General Motors, is supposed to be unveiling "something"...beginning with an "I" and ending with an "SS"
