none of this leads us any closer to the camaro. you can speculate all you want, but until i see one in a showroom or an order book from chevrolet, it's all pie in the sky thinking.
they got rid of the camaro/firebird in order to get out of the st therese plant. they can claim lagging sales all they want, but to have another country's union holding you over a barrel cannot be fun for any corporation - certainly not one that is scratching and clawing for market share the way chevy is.
all of those people who believed that the japs made a better car cannot now be lamenting the loss of the camaro (those of you with a jap car and a camaro in your driveway are the worst offenders). it's cause and effect. we dumped billions of dollars in car sales overseas, which may have made the big three wake up and smell the coffee, but it led to a lot of belt tightening, as well. they are thinking of other markets now - not the old front engine, rear drive platform like the "antiquated" camaro. smaller, leaner, more nimble and better handling cars. it's not like a camaro couldn't possibly come out of this equation, but thinking it's the only thing that can come out of it is absurd. and the poor firebird lovers will spend eternity pissed off at GM.
