The original G body was not the 80's regal, cutlass, and grand prix. The original G body was the late 60's and early 70's Grand Prix and Monte Carlo.

No....90's Bonnie's were called an H-body. 1/2 step up from the W body, 1/2 step down from the "new" G body.

H and G are interchangeable, neither platform is worth wasting internet space on.

Kappa. Kappa is a great parts bin car. Rear diff from the last Sigma, Brakes and hubs from the Epsilon car, some Delta front end stuff, auto trans from Sigma (as well as BMW btw) manual trans from the 355 trucks, seats from GM Brazil.
Alpha will be built along the same lines, just wont be a full framed car like Kappa is.

My car has a full frame? I assumed a uni-body, or does it have full frame rails on the uni-body?

The 2nd generation Kappa has been canned. That doesnt mean that the Solstice or Sky is dead, it just means it wont be built off the 2nd gen Kappa platform.
Its been rumored that Kappa cars will shift to Alpha.

It would also cost 40k....
There is also talk that the next gen C7 platform will ALSO be used to make a Kappa replacement. Since C7 is going to get much smaller and lighter, expect to see a Solstice sized C7 with a 370-400hp V8 between the fenders.
