Some people here are blaming Al for the 6th gen not being as successful as they wished. Al led the engineering group, not the marketing group, and not the styling group. For the area that he was responsible, he led the engineering team that created a car that literally was a world class sports car. Based on the Alpha platform, it rides well, handles better than almost any car the world, out accelerates almost every car in the world, has a higher top speed than any car in the world, has probably the best sounding engine you could buy, and is affordable. They said they wanted to build a car that was good on the road, the track, and the strip. They delivered. What more could you ask for?

Do you think that it's too late for me to let Al know that I gladly take him fishing or whale watching if he is ever out this way...as long as he signs my ZLE?

When trying to decipher whether there will be a Gen7 Camaro, we should all be looking in the parts bin to see if there is stuff there to support it. The Camaro went away for a while because of platform issues (there just wasn't a platform availalabe to support the business case).
If the rumors are true about the ME vette, there will be an engine for the Gen7 Camaro, namely the 500+HP Reworked LT1 (which is rumored to be the initial engine for the ME vette). BUT, is there a platform for it? I don't know the Cadillac lineup well enough to know if there is something that could support the next gen Camaro as a worthy successer to the Alpha. If there is, there WILL be a Camaro. Why? Well, as stated above, the Camaro is a parts bin car. If there are parts in the bin, it makes great business sense becasue even if you only sell a limited amount, the sales help offset the development costs of other vehicles. So, my question to folks who know GM better than me, is there such a platform? |
