truth about domestics

In a recent Motor Trend article, some speculation has begun on the next generation Camaro.  That’s right, the 5th gen hasn’t been out much more than a year, and already GM is thinking ahead.  Could this be a sign of a new and improved GM?  Lets hope so.  Anyway, the Trend as I’m going to call them, is claiming that GM could move the 6th generation Camaro to the same platform as the upcoming Cadillac ATS.  The ATS will slot in below the CTS (which will also be on the platform) so this could be a good way for the General to help lower per vehicle costs on the as yet unnamed platform.  This strategy seems pretty smart as all three cars will need to lower their weight to improve fuel economy and performance figures.  For more, head on over to the Trend.
