Ford bailed on RWD.
Chrysler is re-skinning the LX-chassis cars.
And GM is progressing with its abbreviated RWD plans.

The Chevrolet Camaro is still in GM’s production plan. But GM’s decision not to proceed with a range of rear-drive vehicles for Pontiac, Chevrolet and Buick has become a distinct possibility, to keep GM’s fuel-economy averages from getting too far out of line.

But there are apparently now two additional survivors in the future of the Zeta platform, the global RWD chassis that underpins Chevrolet's hot new Camaro, and the just-now-arriving Pontiac G8.

Sources now report that a Zeta-chassis RWD car will replace two existing Cadillacs - the DTS and the STS - with the DTS name remaining. In the Buick lineup, it is likely for the RWD large car to replace the current Lucerne. The Lucerne and DTS currently share a large-car FWD platform.

The Buick version could spawn a car to allow GM to snag commercial buyers when Ford exits that market by retiring the Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis/Town Car lineup 2010.
