WTF, why can't GM just stop naming the new cars with old names? I don't like it, never did, never will.
The Camaro isn't dead, it's just not produced anymore. The Mini was the same way and honestly, I'd have more respect for BMW and the new Mini if it wasn't a "Mini" and instead some other name. It's insulting that people can't come up with creative names for the nice cars but have no problem putting names like cobalt, or max on the econo cars. What's wrong with new names? NOTHING. It's insulting from my perspective.
What's the future hold when we are all flying around in a "Camaro" bah, it's stupid. If a production run is killed then let the name die with it. I don't even like how they called the 94-96 Impala's. Why couldn't they still be a Caprice but a Caprice SS or Caprice Z30?
