Chevelle as we knew it probably isn't going to materialize anytime soon.

With that being said, like I mentioned earlier, GM is hell-bent on doing something RWD. What they're looking at is a sub-Alpha platform to slot in BELOW the 6th gen Camaro. A lot of people like to point at the Code130R concept for this but Mark Reuss has already said the concept is dated beyond belief and won't go into production. This sub-Alpha RWD platform has a lot of support from Reuss and some other execs, but whether or not anything will happen depends on Holden and whether or not they can put together a strong enough business case (remember, it has to be a global vehicle).
I'm a Chevelle guy to the core. I've been working on restoring my 1970 for about 5 years now. I would kill to park a modern Chevelle (done right, of course) next to my 70.

If the Camaro ends up on the SWB Alpha, they could put the Chevelle on the LWB Alpha.
