I was at GM customer service in 2000 when GM announced that the Camaro/Firebird would be discontinued. Seems a bean counter decided that "X" amt of cars had to be produced to make a profit..........keep thinking it was 22,000, but that seems low, but anyways, it was apparent they weren't going to sell that amount (not the 22k I refer to, but whatever the true number was) and WOW, did the phone calls start. I got calls from people calling GM everything but a nice person. The Gen 4 was a Canadian built car as well, built in Quebec province, and that factory was closed soon after the demise of Gen 4.
I for one are very glad the Camaro came back, the Gen 5 is awesome. I do miss Pontiac more than all the other brands since gone, although Oldsmobile is a close second.
