[Mike The Canadian]

Took this at the Toronto Autoshow...

[Charger4U]

looks dirty, nice shot!

[Mike The Canadian]

haha thanks, I felt stupid, because theres a little barrier blocking the velite off sorta, i put my hand underneath and faced the camera upwards and hoped like hell

Definately the rear from the CAD drawings.

[buickguy]

What are the people working at the show saying about the Velite?

[Camino LS6]

It certainly has a production look to it, doesn't it?

[NOS2006]

I'm with ya on saying it looks like the Camaro concept's underpinnings.

Another shot for comparison a Holden VE testing in Colorado, from Autoblog.

Hmm...what the heck is that car doing testing in Colorado?

Not to ruin the party, but I don't think it's anything that special. IIRC in the original Velite press release, there was a video showing the Velite concept being driven around.

They have to put it on something to make it drive around right? As long as it runs, it doesn't matter if it's a prototype platform or a current production one.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

[Chazman]

Velite's rear looks like Sigma to me, which is what I believe it is.

didn't ask, they never know anything anyways

[jbartley]

in MPH, they say the camaro concept sits on the CURRENT GTO platform

[Achelous]

Is that an SLA configuration? Sorry, but I'm a bit of a newbie to suspension configs.

They are WRONG.

No that is the rear end which only has one control arm. SLA stands for Short Long Arm where you have 2 unequal length arms. This has 1 strut on each side I think it would be called a McPherson strut.

Wrong. The rear of it is Sigma (from an STS), the front is Zeta.

Underneath an 04 GTO for comparison.
