I think it should be kept to the Camaro, and POSSIBLY a special trim of the Corvette, but that's doubtful. I'd prefer to see it be something unique than to see GM turn everything into a retro look and overdo it.

to Z or not to Z

The easiest to 'build': put a firebird nose/tail and dash on the 2010 platform.
I would like to see a 2013 (70)Chevelle. the GNX all would be interesting to see

The Grand National.
Because it's a completely up to date concept that makes sense with everything going on around it in the car world in America (i.e. a mid-sized car with a mid-displacement turbo motor). It would be good competition for the upcoming SHO. You could build it without a single retro touch and still remain true to concept. It would be a ringer for the new platform they are showing for Cadillac in Europe. |

I voted for Pontiac GTO, but only because I missed the old & classic calillacs on the list.

a future special edition corvette! next gen small block V8, with the newest technology in its suspension set up. it should follow a less power but extremely refined handling goal.

+1 those were the most popular Chevy next to the Camaro. I had a 70 in HS.
Edit: voted for Chevelle

As much as I like Chevelles, Goats, and Screaming Chickens, I think that it would make the most sense for GM to go with a Grand National/GNX.Buick needs a halo car and a turbo 6 would be the ecologically responsible option for a performance car.
