Don't get too excited just yet ... but lets hope it will become a production model.

Those two pictures are photoshop versions of the Commodore Coupe 60, at this time there's just a single concept show car in existence, on display right now at the Melbourne Motor Show. (check the post for lots more pics and links Holden Coupe 60 concept )

To see the magic machine in motion here are a couple of video links ...

This does not surprise me with the Caddy 2 Door coupe announced a while ago. They would probably share the same components.

Some sharing but overall very little. These are two different chassis architectures between the CTS and the G8 (on which the Coupe 60 is built). The CTS coupe is pure CTS underneath and shares with sedan everything front of doors and windshield.

The Sigma that the Caddy CTS is built on a more 'primo' platform than the Zeta. That doesn't mean the Zeta is no good. It just means that the Sigma is more refined.

Still, the basic chassis is not all there is to share in a car. But I think its unlikely that there would be a lot of sharing going on.
