	AutoWeek - The Auto Enthusiast's Online Resource: More thoughts on GM's chassis line up
		Ultimate replacements for the new '06 Cadillac Deville, Buick Lucerne and Chevrolet Impala are not yet scheduled, but recent thinking inside GM has been directed towards a common large fwd architecture, probably a development of the existing W- and G-body platforms.
		The Sigma will accomodate larger cars and could even work for coach builders but can never be ecomomical enough to underpin police cars, taxis and the like competitively.
		GM is repositioning both Pontiac and Buick with new cars that are not direct replacements for the current lineup to drive higher prices and better margins.

	Chevy SS--GM High Tech Performance Magazine
		Possibilities include a modified Holden V platform, a high-volume variant of Sigma, or even a modified version of the FWD Delta platform.
		If GM could get the ride height down, the SS could use the small truck platform with lessons learned from the Bel Air exercise.
		Framing this must necessarily be an understanding that GM's description of the Chevy SS is aimed toward the general public and not the enthusiast per se.

	Automotive Forums .com - damn u gm !
		GM has had quality issues in the past, but honestly, almost all carmakers are building cars at the same level of quality.
		You can see this happening in cadillac already, FWD catera and seville are gone, RWD CTS and STS have replaced them.
		I've always been a GM guy (no malice to other companies) and am getting very disappointed with them not keeping with nameplate heritage.

	GM Will Build Front-Drive Rivals for 'Cute-Utes'
		Moving the Tracker and Vitara to a fwd crossover platform represents a major shift for the small sport-utilities.
		The Chevrolet and Suzuki sport wagons, due for the 2004 model year, will be the first vehicles added to GM's new Theta platform created for the Saturn Vue sport-utility coming out this fall.
		But GM and Suzuki have seen a new generation of "cute-utes," such as the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape, outsell them as consumers seek car-like handling.

	VWvortex Forums: GM USDM FWD Letter Platform Family Tree
		Where people are getting the "new A body" thing from is that the fourth designation in GM VIN's was the platform designation, like J or X. The US Delta car's fourth VIN character is an A, so some people are referring to them as the "new A body".
		Ultimately, I think the GM area where "legacy" parts carry on the closest resemblance to their "parents" is the 60 degree V6.
		The J's are a good example of a platform that hardly changed at all (relatively speaking).

	GM FastLane Blog: Zeta Not the End of RWD Performance
		Until GM gets serious about differentiating its cars from the Japanese with mainstream, RWD models that remind us all why American cars were loved in their heyday, you can look forward to watching Chrysler enjoy the sales and the buzz of their RWDs, and the Japanese eating more of your marketshare.
		GM is still the master of platform sharing with the W-body, epsilon, theta and delta platforms.
		Seperate Buick and Pontiac from Chevy FWD sedans and use a single RWD platform for a midsize and large sedan each for Buick and Pontiac.

		All of GM's mid-size and large cars should move to either the Epsilon (fwd) or Sigma (rwd) platforms, but the next Pontiac Grand Prix and Buick Century/Regal will probably be interim vehicles based on an updated version of the current W-body.
		The other North American model on the Sigma platform is expected to be a production vehicle inspired by the LaCrosse concept, replacing the Park Avenue as the premium Buick.
		Both platforms will offer 4wd versions, so it is technically possible to produce rwd cars on the Epsilon platform as well.

	[H]ardForum - 240hp Solstice?
		On the GM Canada site it said that it's being based on a "modified Delta platform" (and every car thus far on the Delta has been FWD, namely the Saturn ION, the Chevy Cobalt, and the Opel Astra).
		Yes, it is Kappa platform, and it is going to be built about 10 miles from my house at the Boxwood Plant in Wilmington/New Castle, DE, where the late unlamented Saturn L-Series used to be produced.
		Is GM Canada a REAL GM site, or what?

		The Grand Prix of 2004 continues to use GM's G-body platform and retains the FWD format with a 110.5-inch wheelbase.
		A shift-it-yourself kind of driver can use the thumb and forefinger to move the paddles forward or backward and step up or down the powertrain's gear ladder in the same way race drivers control their open-wheel machines with finger-flicking upshifts and downshifts.
		Large round analog gauges dot the dashboard instrument cluster, yet the driver may also view instruments as reflected off the windshield in a head-up display that includes digital data indicating the vehicle's speed and compass direction, real-world clock time and functions of the audio equipment.

		The G6, using the new and already well-regarded Epsilon FWD platform, supplants the popular but hardly world-class Pontiac Grand Am.
		Focusing initially on Buick, Saturn and Pontiac, Lutz killed the well-received Buick Bengal concept but has blessed the sporty, 400-hp Velite convertible unveiled at this year's New York Auto Show, part of GM's new fullsize rear-wheel-drive car platform.
		Cobalt, riding on the new Delta front-wheel-drive architecture, replaces the lackluster and money-losing Chevy Cavalier and GM's worn out J-car platform.

	GM 3800 engine - Psychology Central
		Another oddity of this engine is that although it is a 90° V6 and thus has the Buick\Oldsmobile\Pontiac V8 bellhousing pattern when used in RWD applications, it has the GM 60° V6 bellhousing pattern when it is used in FWD applications.
		Introduced in 1982, it was designed for transverse application in the new GM A platform cars like the Buick Century and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera.
		In 1986, the engine was modified for transverse-mounting in smaller, FWD vehicles.
