Actualy, its very possible.
The only thing that held back the last one was teh 25% tarif on imported trucks, thast why we got the GTO and not the Ute.
This new VE chassis is designed for both Aussie and US crash standards, as well as they will buil VE/Zeta cars is Oz and US.
Add that to the fact that it would be a truck, adn would help improve Chevy's CAFE numbers, this thing could pack 600hp, and not have to follow the rules of car CAFE like Camaro or G8 would.
Oh, did I mention the 25% tariff is gone? Well, only for Australia...everyone else still gets the shaft.
