It is appears according to some of the latest published reports that GM is planning a complete revival of the rear-wheel drive Chevrolet sedan, which will have sporty characteristics. It is assumed in the circles that the plans were abandoned last year which was in line with economical developments that has almost brought GM to the brink of bankruptcy. However, apart from the rear-wheel driver Chevrolet sedan, GM is also working on other cars as confirmed by the official sources. According to these sources, the automaker, is likely to build another rear-wheel drive vehicle as well called the Cadillac sedan. Automobiles experts believe in the higher probabilities of this new car carrying a price tag of around $130,000. Thus, the new Cadillac brands are most likely to fall in the same category such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the Bmw 7-Series.
It is believed that both of the new sports vehicles will have their first public appearance in the mid-decade. Exerts are also of the opinion that the new cars, to be developed by GM, are likely to share the same platform as next-generation rear wheel drive Zeta for which the Zeta vehicle platform is likely to be re-engineered. Experts maintain that the automaker will use high-strength steel to reduce weight. It is also learned from reliable sources that two wheelbases are also likely to be in the pipeline soon.
Developed conceptually on the shorter wheelbase, the new Chevrolet sedan will be a four-door Camaro. Similarly, the Cadillac sedan, it is believed, will certainly boost automaker’s sales. The new Cadillac Sedan is expected to draw attention of Chinese and European buyers to the brand. Apparently, the Cadillac 16 concept car that was introduced in 2003 is believed to have inspired some of the styling cues of the new Cadillac sedan. The sports vehicle will have long wheelbase Zeta platform with a smaller V8 engine.
