Today Autoweek online reports…
General Motors sources say the next Impala will share a rwd platform with the upcoming Chevrolet Camaro, which will be built late in 2008 in Oshawa, Ontario. Impala production will start several months later, a GM source said. The rwd Impala also will be distinguished from the 2007 model by its long wheelbase and short front and rear overhangs. The car will be similar in length and width to the front-drive 2007 Impala. The passenger compartment will be larger than that of the 2007 Impala, the source said.
This is great news to hear, I’ve long advocated Chevy returning to it’s read wheel drive roots, I feel the decline of the American auto industry began when it began to move away from familiar territory.
Detroit is In a race to hold on to its dwindling market share, and mindshare is the biggest war then they have to win, I believe that that Japanese are here to stay, but there should and will be a vibrant American auto industry.
