For all intents and purposes the next Impala is RWD, the car is already far along in development and I can't see GM throwing away all that engineering work and capacity at Brampton to keep it FWD.

you mean Oshawa, Brampton is where the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger are made ;-)

It's Oshawa, not Brampton. And they're not decommissioning the W-Body (Impala/Lacrosse/Allure) lines, just tooling up an additional (small) line for the Camaro. They might eventually shift the G8 to Oshawa there's enough demand, or they might just keep cranking out W-Bodies.
The W is cheap to build and _by far_ GM's most reliable car. With the production costs fully amortized and the supply chain well established, I can't see them _not_ cranking out W-Bodies for a long time coming.

Where do you get all your information? The minimum that Pontiac will get of the G8 is 48k per year and that is only untill the North American plant is up and running. As to the RWD Impala you have no more information then anyone else.... Just because you show a picture of a driver dosn't make you an expert at anything.
