From Edmunds.com

DETROIT — Chevrolet plans to take the wraps off a concept Camaro at the 2006 Detroit auto show in January.

Also, Inside Line has learned the automaker is evaluating proposals to revive the classic performance-car nameplate in 2009-2010 on a new low-cost rear-wheel-drive platform.

Among the scenarios under discussion inside General Motors is the development of a lower-cost version of the Sigma rear-drive platform that underpins the Cadillac CTS and STS sedans. Another proposal would take the new rear-drive platform that's being developed in Australia for the next-generation Holden Commodore sedan and spin off a low-cost variant for North America.

GM planners are said to have targeted several body styles for the Chevy and Pontiac brands on a new rear-drive platform, including a sport sedan, a sporty coupe and a convertible. The Camaro and GTO badges could be used on those vehicles, according to company sources.

Across town, Chrysler is said to be preparing a concept Dodge Challenger for the '06 Detroit show, to test the market for a proposed two-door performance car it wants to introduce around 2008-2009 as a potential competitor to the Ford Mustang.

What this means to you: Guess it was just a matter of time and environmental awareness — the original definition of muscle cars doesn't fit well with new perceptions of what's best for the world...could there be a "green" muscle car in our future?

low-cost rear-wheel-drive platform = live rear axle?

All of those but the Mustang are really eligable.
The Mustang has always been around. Its never really come back from anything. Just a new body design.

Well, they've got Zeta sitting around, so they got themselves a chassis, should be good! and a new challenger, those were cool

[cuntukimushroom]

all i can say is: you just wait...!

[targa]

as long as it doesnt look as shitty as the like 97-03 ones, i dont mind

[werty]

screw what .. they cant possibly make it uglier than it already is

i mean screw up trying to make it look retro, the new mustang is a great example of how to make a car look retro wihout ruining the cars image

I like the idea, but in my openion, with the way the Big three is, they might screw it up, like making it a 4 door or something, I just feel that I will still like the 90's version and the Trans Am better.
