Wasn't that the original Code name for the Camaro before they unvalued it in 67?

no change is needed. and the Mustang II at least made a great Hot Rod chassis!
And Vega was mini-Camaro. if they changed to that, it would make sense if they are going to keep making these cars smaller..

You know I did notice the new ZL1 did not have any Camaro badges. I'm kinda fond of my 2SS myself.

the best part of that ridiculous email was the end where I got to vote for 'boring' when asked about the survey

I was just reading the original article when they decide to kill the name Panther and came up with the name Camaro..."Camaro" from a list of over 2,000 words – a name that means "Friend, Pal, or Comrade" --- I just wonder: Did he EVER imagine that this wonderful car – would bring so many "friends" together all because of the love of the Camaro?

I would like to see a 2nd gen throwback retro look. I don't know how they would pull it off but I would like to see

Until Chevy used it there was no such word in any Language. Chevy made the word up along with the definition.

Anyway I think the survey was not to change the Name Camaro but to add some new model names to the Camaro Lineup.

A lot of people have been doing that since the 4th gen was out (90's) sounded stupid then and sounds stupid now.

For those that jumped on the Camaro bandwagon in 2010 and don't know the history, Hugger Orange was offered in 69 and 99.
