Kinda like what we have been doing here since 1997 or so.

Maybe it should be renamed, the designation F-Body is dead, even when a "high-performance coupe(s)" return, they will not be going by F-Bodies anymore.

 

 

Unless you know something that I do not, when it/they return, there will be an "F" somewhere in the designation.

 

At this point isn't save the incorrect word... We're sorta reviving now aren't we?

 

i signed it

 

Letters aren't used for program designations any more. They might still be called by their old body designations by some folks, but it's rare.

GMX-xxx
GMT-xxx

Etc...



The letter designations never meant much anyway...

H-cars were Monzas and Sunbirds and Skylarks...

Then they became LeSabres and 88's and Bonnevilles and the Sunbird became a J-car...

G-cars were Cutlasses and Monte Carlos and Grand Prix's and Regals, then those cars became W-cars while G-cars moved on to being Riveras and Auroras.

Go figure.



Corvette was the Y-car... but methinks the SSR should be called the "why?" car, although the LS2 goes a long way towards redressing things.

 

What I meant was...I asked the question once a little while ago, and someone told me that F is still expected to be in the designation somewhere. To what level, it was unclear.

That might have changed since then anyway.

 

Nah, might still be true... It's just that the Purchasing and Engineering organizations, along with IRN and JD Powers and the rest of the snoopers and poopers, just don't use them on the new stuff.

Hell, there's some marketing potential with the designation since it's so well known. Might get some mileage out of that.

Hmmmm.... marketing...

 

Yeah. Id say so
