Hey if GM wants to go after Ford's Mustang why do they name at after another horse- "Clydesdale" (and it even starts with a "C")

IMO the following 5 (not in any particular order) are the best names for a new Chevy coupe if GM decides not to call it a Camaro or Chevelle:

1. SSC
2. Laguna
3. Raptor
4. Panther
5. Inferno

I like Laguna too...I thought of that one before I even read this post...

Or, how about dragging up another dead GM name...Alero?? Here's the new tagline...

"Introducing the new 2007 Chevy Alero...older sibling to the Aveo. Alero: Rhymes with the name of the Chevy you really want, but we are too chicken to give you...Genuine Chevrolet"

See? Old name and taglines...no new creativity needed, Chevy

Chaparral. Not only one of the original names for the Camaro, but also the name of a missile.
