GnatGoSplat Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 http://www.autonews.com/article.cms?articleId=42395 I wonder, is it still gonna be a W-body? I don't care what anyone says, a real V8 still sounds a helluva lot meaner than any L67 I've ever heard. Quote
slick Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 I'm guessing it's gonna be on the same platform as the new Caprice that my dad spotted driving on the highway in the Detroit area. Not a w-body anymore, and I'm happy its V-8. Which do you guys think they will get? A current V-8, or a new design? Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 18, 2003 Author Report Posted July 18, 2003 Hmmm, it seems a bit quick to kill off the current Monte/Impala platform though. Plus, if it were to be a complete redesign or changing platform for 2004, I would have thought spy photos would have been leaked by now. Quote
slick Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 True, so do you think they will make them FWD then? Or maybe channel out the car, put a rear end in it, and make it RWD? Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 18, 2003 Author Report Posted July 18, 2003 If it's not a complete redesign, it'll be FWD. If it IS a complete redesign, that's a shocker to me! Quote
slick Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 With GM, who knows. But then again, they are cheap, so it may be on the currect platform. Quote
phantomFE3 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 heres what i predict the new monte carlo will look like: Quote
patgizz Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 i read in one of the mags a few weeks ago that the w-platform is gonna be gone in 06 and replaced with rwd on which the new imp/monte will be built. Quote
phantomFE3 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 kick ass!!! who wouldve ever thought w-bodies would become rear wheel drive?!! Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 18, 2003 Author Report Posted July 18, 2003 If it's RWD, it won't be a W-body. It might be on the Sigma platform. Quote
hoodilio Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Might the new V8 powered Impala be this http://www.gmhightechperformance.com/features/0303GMH_homerun/ Quote
godofthunder Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 i read in one of the mags a few weeks ago that the w-platform is gonna be gone in 06 and replaced with rwd on which the new imp/monte will be built. kick ass!!! who wouldve ever thought w-bodies would become rear wheel drive?!! Um... If your talking about the name (like Cutlass Supreme, Monte, etc...well, they all were RWD before with the G-bodies. But...um..yeah jon Quote
Hippie Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 Might the new V8 powered Impala be this http://www.gmhightechperformance.com/features/0303GMH_homerun/ I had read in a couple places that there might be a new Impala SS with a Supercharged Northstar V-8 but I guess an LS-1 would do........... :shock: 8) 8) 8) Quote
90TGP Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 Maybe it'll be like that Grand Prix V8 Concept. Quote
