Solution to Camaro naming problem...

Lets say when this "Chevy Sport Coupe" comes out and is fully deserving of the Camaro name, but isn't labled a Camaro by GM, we as a community of Camaro enthusiasts defiantly reject whatever name GM gives this car, tare the badging off and fix the Camaro letters on the car instead and NEVER EVER call it anything but a Camaro no matter what it's called by GM.

Now THAT would be an American revolution.

Shhh... don't say anything yet. We don't want them to do anything like mold the name into the bumper. That'd be a pain in the *** to change.

As long as the logo is not shaped like a mullet I am happy

Re: Solution to Camaro naming problem...

I think it would just be easier to call it Camaro from the factory. Less work for me, and no back lash for GM.
Win Win.
