What makes you think that there is a quick way to remove weight from Zeta? Zeta's "weight problem" (it's really not heavy at all for its size and price range -- full size 4 doors with a 350+hp V8 all weigh in the neighborhood of 4000 pounds) has been known since before it was introduced in 2006 in Australia. If it were going to get lighter, it would have already. I can't see any significant future weight cuts in Zeta (I'd guess max of 100 pounds), other than going to 4cyl engines. Fuel economy improvements will mostly come from more efficient powertrains, I'll bet.

So what replaces Zeta in the larger sedans? Don't tell me it's EP-II. And if Alpha is real, why no Alpha G6?

It was a lot to hope for. Too much, apparently.

I agree. RWD would make Pontiac very desirable. Leave FWD to Saturn, Chevy, and Buick.

Uh huh. Best to just keep building a variation of the Malibu/Aura for Pontiac than to build a car that RWD enthusiasts would want to buy.

Why so much rancor? Holden has produced the most interesting four-doors at GM. Or is "not invented here" still alive and well in Detroit?
