NEW YORK - By now, anyone following the car business knows that General Motors' Chevrolet division is flirting with a revival of its sporty Camaro while DaimlerChrysler's Dodge division is trying to make a business case for a 21st century Dodge Challenger.

The problem is that GM also plans to use this platform on a number of crucial cars for Chevrolet, Buick and Pontiac, with all three slotted to get rear-drive sedans from this project. It's fair to ask whether adding a Chevrolet Camaro to the rear-wheel-drive program is the best allocation of resources for a company that desperately needs to fill so many gaps in its product portfolio.
