I don't even think a person in the "tuning" crowd WILL buy a Camaro simply because of the name.
A tuner is a tuner, is a TUNER!!!

They LOOOVE IMPORTS. They can care less about a turbocharged I4 Camaro!
Seriously, if GM wanted to appeal to the "tuning" crowd then bring back a "tuning" new version of the Cavalier!!!
Hell, they did a hella job w/ the Malibu! What the hell is the Cobalt for????
Yes, gas is getting expensive. Yes, the "tuners" are the future. NO, you do not do this to the Camaro AND all chevy fans.

Damn, I guess the "tuners" will have the last laugh...
