I mean, if you think the 1LE should have been what the Z/28 is....then get a 1LE. Right? I mean, are we so vain or nostalgic that we cannot move on from a 45 year old moniker? Are you buying the decal or what the decal is on? Seriously, to Col. Brains point, if the 1LE was called the Z/28 and the Z/28 was called the Camaro R, the world would be back in alignment? If it is that simple and those little things can ruin your view of the brand....you have bigger issues I think.

And also, somewhat to further your point, there are those of us who
don't care what manufacturers nameplate is on a car, we buy purely based upon the suitability of the package based upon our want/need. If the Z/28 were not spec'ed as it is, I would have never had any interest in a GM nameplate- I
like the new 'Vette and ZL1, but never had the desire to buy one as with the instant desire I had with the Z at the unveiling in March. I saw the spec, understood immediately what kind of minds had thought this up, and instantly wanted one.
If some of you are so f'ing selfish, self-centered and sheltered that you can't understand the importance of GM bringing new blood into the GM fold by conceptualizing and producing a very special upmarket car like the Z/28 for a hardcore group of enthusiasts, then that's "your" problem (not talking to you mkorgan
, just to the folks who this applies to).
