GM is in the midst of a product strategy shift, broadening its vehicle lineup with a mix of both all-electric and internal combustion-based vehicles, as well plans to reintroduce hybrid options to the North American market. In addition, GM now looks like it will revise its U.S. product strategy with a renewed focus on passenger cars, signaling that the automaker isn’t ready to fully abandon the more traditional body styles quite yet.

According to sources familiar with the matter, the company is now working on "multiple variants" of a new passenger car, all of which will be based on the Alpha 2-2 platform.

For those readers who may be unaware, the Alpha 2-2 platform is essentially an evolution of the rear-wheel-drive Alpha 2 architecture that underpins the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro, as well as the Cadillac CT4 and CT5. As GM Authority was the first to report, the Alpha 2-2 platform will serve as the architecture for the next-generation Cadillac CT5, but sources also tells us that The General has at least one additional Alpha 2-2-based passenger car planned for the U.S. market.

Although the identity of the second Alpha 2-2-based passenger car vehicle remains under wraps, there are several possibilities to consider. Among these is a new Chevy sedan, the next-generation Camaro coupe and convertible, or even a new CT5 convertible or coupe, the latter of which was hinted at with Cadillac’s Expressive Coupe concept.
