either way as some have said, they can call it a Z/28, RS, SS, ZS, S28, LT or 1LE I think we will still love it, or one of them...  |

I would have loved seeing a fifth gen. Z/28 with the track oriented content at a price point closer to the SS as it was in the first gen. Based on the rumours and speculation thus far it appears that if we get a Z/28 it will be priced considerably higher than the SS.

Great points, all. And agreed.
I think they may have got their model names (if common assumptions hold true) backwards in this case, per SOME of our arguments. (most notably the fact that the SS was released after the Z28, that's all).
But as chad said, in the end, I don't care if they call it a "Fiero" (
) personally, as long as the proper price/performance/weight/handling characteristics are there.
There's always the aftermarket for badges, and such.
