Re: Dec. issue PHR - "New Camaro" may be called "Chevelle"?
If we get a 2-door RWD V-8 vehicle called Chevelle then...well...i might buy it. I know we are camaro enthusiasts here - but if the next "camaro" (or car we want to be called camaro) is called chevelle, what is the difference? We are car enthusiasts too, right? If it's the same car i'm not too concerned what name it wears, so long as it's a GOOD CAR. I think your average car consumer is the same way. I'd rather get a RWD V-8 coupe called "chevelle" than no v-8 rwd coupe at all. And i'd especially rather not have something that is NOT camaro wearing the camaro name. By the same token, if they call this chevelle (whatever it is) it better look chevelle.

If this Chevy Zeta coupe doesnt fit a Camaro too well, then I'm all for them naming it a Chevelle. I want our car to come back as a Camaro, not a half-baked creation. Personally, I think theres still more to heard from this Torana chassis and by the sounds of it, it fits the Camaro size pretty damn well.

Maybe the Camaro isn't in limbo. Maybe the Camaro on Zeta chasis is in limbo. Maybe Lutz has a 100% full intention of building a Camaro...

I so tired of all of this . The more time goes by , right now .....I really dont believe theres a Camaro in the works . Just like they sold the soltice up the river with the now saturn roadster too , who else is gonna get a copy ? I think the GTO's platform mate is looking to be a Chevys version GTO , it would be so typical GM . I thought the Clones were supposed to go out with Zarella ? ....especially with specialty cars . Its hard to have faith when theres just nothing whatsoever there . Theres just as much info to negate chevys Zeta coupe is NOT camaro , than there is to promote it .

Re: Dec. issue PHR - "New Camaro" may be called "Chevelle"?
well, from what we know about the rwd coupe i can say this.
we know it has cues from the past, but from the people that have seen it, none of them have said that it looks like a camaro. with that said, i believe they designed a neutral looking rwd car. so they can drop either or names on it. remember that the name doesn't mean that much, especially if you are designing a new generation that is coming back a few years after that last. so as long as they don't mold the name in the bumper we might get a camaro. it doesn't take alot of resources for GM to wait till the last second and put an order on Camaro/Chevelle plastic pieces for the side of the car and the interior.
so maybe you guys have a little time to send in those pics to RED still. now will anyone acutally do it

The PROBLEM at hand has been clearly defined. I reminded everyone of a solution that has been in place yet is under-utilized.
You would think that if people were serious about wanting a CHANGE, they would act upon it since the opportunity is right there in front of them.
HOWEVER, it seems that most would rather do nothing around and complain and argue with each other about minor inconsequential details that will accomplish ZERO. Spewing out argumentative facts and figures along with "I heard this" and "I heard that" won't make things happen. That only strokes egos. I see it all the time here. When it comes time to participate in something that could seriously result in a positive change, everyone seems to quickly forget what they were complaining about in the first place, essentially ignoring the chance to solve the problem.

WOW I just thought I'd pass this along, "the "New Camaro" possibly being called a "Chevelle" just as a "hey, check this out".
I know there's ALOT of speculation about the possibility of a new Camaro out there, and we can only keep our fingers crossed IF Chevrolet brings out a "new" V8 RWD "muscle car", I hope its a Camaro, but if it isn't, at least I hope it's RWD w/ a V8
I look at it this way, whether or not the Camaro returns, I've got mine, and I'll continue to enjoy it. And if the time comes when I need to replace it, hopefully there'll be a "new" Camaro. If not, restoration!

If they aren't going to call it Camaro, why do they have to call in Chevelle, or Monte Carlo. Can't they make up a new name and start a new legendary automobile? If they had given the GTO a brand new name, nobody would have b*tched and moaned about it not being a real GTO and more people would have seen its pluses.
