It's probably going to be a smaller car than the 5th gen.

I'm fine with that. I'm honestly excited for future models, as alot of the current models at out there have options I'd never think of a car doing. Wifi in GM vehicles is one of those things. Just hoping it stretches to all of Chevrolets line up.

I am not sure if it has been confirmed, but I feel this '15%' is probably a fleet number... I don't see the 6th gen Camaro's coming out weighing 3250 lbs. I hope they do... But I fear that is not likely
Also that would mean vette's around 2800 lbs..... So I am fairly confident they are talking fleet

History repeats itself.... No Need to Buckle Up.
This is just a rehash for some of us. No need to get your panties in a wad.

Yeah, and I bet it will take a turn for the worst. It will look like crap. It will most likely be as good looking as a chevy "SS" they just came out with (NOTHING SPECIAL THERE) The past repeats its self, 67 to 69 Camaros COOL, from there on down hill in the looks dept. Camaros from 10 to what? 14? COOL then from there down hill. Just Watch.................

Buy your cars now! Stock up.
This is the beginning of the end. Remember what happened to GM cars during the '70's and '80's after dumb GM edicts like this one? The cars were flimsy, slow junk. It takes time to properly design and engineer a car. Michael |

It's all been done before, light cars. Car engineering is nothing new at all and everything has been tried. How about 50-60's European sports cars. Very light with the safety of a moped.
What will change the world of modern cars is composite materials and the way they are manufactured to reduce costs. Composites will reduce the weight that is needed to get great mileage and performance while retaining the strength for safety that is so important these days. Until the day that cars are affordable with what we think today, are exotic materials, we are destined to have Sonic sized cars made of steel and iron and aluminum that are light and safe. The point is that with metals, a CAT front end loader has to weigh what it does to lift a load of logs for physics and engineering strength. A car has to weigh what it does at a certain size for the same reason with safety in mind. I personally think we are a few years off yet from composite cars being affordable. So a light cheap steel/iron/aluminum affordable car will have to be smaller than we might like for the next decade or so until advancements are made, which will happen I'm sure..

Wow, it means times have changed and technology has changed we have moved forward, it does not mean it has to go backwards.... As living in the past means.
