Honestly.. think about it. If GM would have named the 2004-2006 GTO something different.. such as G8 coupe.. it probably would have sold better than it did.

I am just saying, I don't think it would be a smart thing to do.

really.. If they came out with a new "muscle" car, and called it the chevelle, I would be kind of digusted. I think of the 70 Chevelle SS 454 we just sold, and a new car with that name just would not fit right. New cars deserve new names.. PERIOD

(obviously the Camaro, Corvette, etc.. are totally different examples, because they have generations etc..)

So.. justify the Challenger.

I agree the GTO should be remembered as one of Pontiac's finest moments and the start of the muscle car. The Malibu was an upgrade in trim to the Chevelle. Chevy already has the Malibu, which has been well accepted. A possible problem is the original Camaro was smaller then the Chevelle, whereas the current Camaro is about the same size as the current Malibu.

I don't think a GTO or Chevelle will help GM's current position and just divert resources away from other projects that may bring in more revenue.

But the Chevelle should be 2 door not 4, if anything, make it the next Impala.
