Although Pontiac seems set to get a "Camaro" of their own, and although it could be named Firebird as easily as GTO, it seems that since Pontiac is going to become more distinct and upscale than Chevrolet.
But in that 1 in 1000 chance they do use the name "Firebird" (Firebird GTO?
) anyone expecting another Corvette-ish looking, winged Batmobile is going to be even more dissappointed than the guys who were expecting another 4th gen-like Camaro.

outside of that, how easily would it be to convert a camaro enthusiast over to another of GM's herd? stick around long enough and you wouldn't drive anything other than GM product. they like it like that. most die-hards like us would never think about driving anything imported, and we all have a friend we are desperately trying to dissuade from driving that Ferd.
to take someone of the same heart and allow him to interact with the masses certainly seems like it's killing two birds with the same rock. he enjoys his time (well, most of it) chatting it up with us, and we appreciate it when he does because we almost always learn something.
so, in the big picture, sure it makes sense to allow someone on the inside to mingle with the enthusiasts, for more reasons than i have mentioned. it doesn't cost them as much as one TV spot for one commercial, and they almost have a captive audience...

i heard that they might keep the letter F in the vin... but i don't think that makes it an F body the Fbody will always be the 1967-2002 Camaro and Firebird..
there's been plenty of times where car models have changed platforms... the Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, Regal.. all were on the RWD G platform pre-1988.. then they swiched over to the FWD W platform

Yeah, but none of those cars have anything to their history like the Camaro does. I would be really suprised if all the sudden the car was not referred to as an F-Body any longer.
