    It looks like a Mack track rear-ended a G35 (or 37, or whatever it's called now)

    I'm wonder how much of the platform would come from the new Camaro.

    I kinda like it, and I heard that it will be called the CTC, not CTS.

    CTS = C class Touring Sedan
    CTC = C class Touring Coupe

    Just like I think XLR is supposed to mean X class Luxury Roadster. Not sure what SRX is supposed to mean though. Of course for everyone who knows me, I would probably never pick one up due to what is sure to be low fuel economy.

    I've been looking at it for a while from all the posted sources, and I don't care for the dimensions.

    I'm sure it will have lots of power, but it looks like a Altima and Scion in many of the shots. The massive amounts of sheet metal above the wheels front and rear just seem really out of proportion and create a super-high belt line, the rear looks like it can also be called a hatch back.

    Probably not much. This coupe has the same wheelbase as the CTS, which would lead one me to think that there’s a good chance it uses the same Sigma chassis as the CTS. The Camaro is supposed to use GM’s new Zeta rwd chassis, which is the same chassis underpinning the new Holden Commodore/Pontiac G8, as well as the next generation Holden Monaro/Pontiac GTO. The two don’t have that much in common beyond drivetrain layout (both designed for rwd cars).

    Hey, what's wrong with hatches? I kinda like it and if it needs 4 pots for the rear that usually means performance.

    I think the new Camaro is going to be built on a variation the new Pontiac G8 platform (Zeta), but the CTS is still built on an updated Sigma platform (along with the current STS).
