General Motors has big plans for the upcoming Chicago Auto Show. At the exposition opening this week, GM will unveil a pair of new vehicles, although details on what form they'll take remain scarce.

The news comes from reports quoting GM's North American president Mark Reuss. All he's revealed at this point is that one of the two cars will be based on the Chevrolet Camaro's platform. That tells us it will be a front-engine/rear-drive vehicle, but little else. So, commence speculation: Camaro Z28? Chevy Zeta-platform sedan? (Which we think should be called Chevelle, because hey, if Dodge can call its sedan Charger...)

As for the second car slated for the Windy City salon, your guess is as good as ours. So we'll just have to sit tight and see what the General has got in store for us.

im more interested in the rwd sedan.

Its gonna be some FWD 4-banger "performance car" don't be silly guys.

Haven't they been kicking around the "BEAT" Concept or whatever it was for the past 3-4 years...?

Not based on the Camaro platform, like the teaser says it will be.

Edit: Scratch that. Didn't see there will be two.

Yea, I figure the Z-28's public release, or the civilian version of the PPV, Plus maybe one of those 3 'things' They seriously have been talking about them for years.... and with the Fiat 500 coming out, the Fiesta, and things like the Versa etc, they are going to need something more 'premium' to slot below the Cruze aside from the Aveo IMO.
