Second gens had sales numbers that you would not believe and I would assume are not aware of.

The 1979 Camaro sold 282,571 units. The ENTIRE RUN of 98-02 Camaros only totaled 207,591. That's 74,980 cars shy of ONE YEAR of 2nd gen production. They may not be what you like now but they sure were popular back then, and made GM a lot of money. 1979 second gen Birds did pretty well as well- with 211,454 units sold.

The 4th gens (both C+F) look good and performed better from the factory than every other previous generation- except in sales figures, where it really counts. We may love them but a lot of people did and do not.
