he has stated angels were a new idea
That was part of the writer's strike fuckup. Sam was supposed to rescue Dean from Hell, but they didn't have time to work it out, so angelus ex machina and new direction it was.
I have no opinion on whether or not they know what happened to/with Sam--they may very well have written the reveal by the time episode one was filmed, much less just plotted it out. But I do believe them when they say the five season arc was pretty much set--I just wonder what it would have looked like without angels in it, though.
I suspect we still would have had the Devil possessing Sam in the Season 5 finale, just without Michael as a counterbalancing antagonist.
My theory for Sam is that there was some kind of trade off for getting out of the cage (even if he doesn't remember specifically). Leaving Dean alone, so Sam is trying to stay emotionally detatched. Plus Lucifer had to have fucked with his head something fierce.
Oh, and on rewatch, when Dean sees the scratching on the phone pole, Sam's car drives by (we just didn't know it was Sam's car at that point).

GTFO. That's too cool.
What kind of car is it?
And I wonder if it's hot.

Nice catch.
I'm curious now how things would have played out if there hadn't been a strike.
I also like the idea that Sam "fought" his way out of Hell on his own. That doesn't explain Samuel though.
I kind of hope we're done with Chuck much as I loved our cruel capricious God.
Found the answer to my own question. Thank you, fandom. 2008 Dodge Charger, Illinois plates.
I want to say it's horrendously flashy, but seriously, I've just become overused to the Impala. It's not like they've been crawling around subtly all this time.
It's just so new and allover shiny. And tinted windows. Quelle horreur!
Not Sam's car. Sam's looks more like a new Dodge or a Mustang (I'm terrible with cars), something modern but with a boxy muscle look to it, and has a spoiler and completely different plates and a vent thingy in the hood. The other car was definitely a Mazda.
And he turned down our girl!!!!

or not so terrible! I love the lines on Dodges. Sexy muscley lines.

I am actually ridiculously in love with the new Chargers, especially the SRT8 [link]
