I would also prefer a 'bird over a Camaro. But that's just not going to happen. GM would be stupid to launch another product that competes with itself; and as it was already pointed out, some reorganization / new missions are being assigned the various makes. Cut back on the amount of overlap, and retarget some of the brands. A good example of remarketing is Cadillac.
For me, I'm taking a "wait and see" attitude as well for the new Camaro. Its as much a financial decision as a glimmer of hope that after the 3rd or 4th model year of the Camaro, Pontiac may jump into something like a GTO again (upgraded model of the G8?). I'll be torn between the Camaro and whatever muscle comes out of Pontiac.
