Should the G8 become the Chevy Camaro SS Sedan?

[mikeyb]

Yeah, you read that right, Chevrolet Camaro SS Sedan. If there can be a BMW M3 sedan why not a four-door Camaro?
The Camaro and the G8 already share a platform and although their engines aren't exactly the same they're pretty close. Leave the Impala for family duty and keep the rebadged G8 what it should be -- a full fledged sport sedan.

Save The Commodore!

 

[mikeyb]

I say rebadge it as the Commodore SS.

 

[soccom2005]

id say keep it but not as a camaro... how bout a new name or sumthing... i do like it but i have a personal hatred against that badge

 

[bgibb68]

yeah...keep that car for god sakes....an american(sorta) german killer....hells to the yeah....but not as a camero...bah....

 

[Olestra]

That car looks badass.
I really like the rear end and the front end is decent, I just prefer the hood vents of the Pontiac G8 over that piddly hood scoop.

Camaro SS wouldn't be a bad idea.

Make it a Chevy, but don't sully the Camaro nameplate.

And another pet peeve.


SPELL CAMARO RIGHT PEOPLE!!!!

It is CAMARO

Not CAMERO.

I'm with you on this one, mate. I don't care what they dress it up as, it'll always be a Commy to me! (2thumbs)

Um... calm down one person misspelled it.

 

[bgibb68]

sorry....my bad.....i'm good with numbers....suck at spelling.....i admit it...

 

[genericuser]

Um... calm down one person misspelled it.

One person in this thread, yes.. But over the past month I've seen roughly 3.0x10^25 mispellings of that nameplate.

Let it be the new Impala and kill the lame-duck FWD Impala we have now. This car is available from a bare-bones yet respectable V6 sedan all the way up to a pavement scorching 400+hp V8 BMW killer, so there'd be an Impala for everyone's taste.

There's never been a Camaro sedan and there never should be, much in the same way the BMW 6-series or 8-series coupes have never been sedans. The M3 is available as a sedan because the chassis it's based on is designed to be both.

A new name would be good for it. The Impala name is too dirtied to use on a sedan like this. Commodore... eh. Monte Carlo?

 

[Flash5]

not a camaro, wouldnt be right in my mind but it definitely needs to be re-badged as chevy

 

[BlackCherry06]

Monte Carlo? Talk about dirtied... Probably not a good idea to resurrect a name that Chevrolet ruined so badly. But, I guess they are re-using "Camaro" after they ran the last F-body into the ground...

I like this idea.(2thumbs)

I'm with Mikey on this one.

I think it's been long enough that no one will get confused:

[Protephile]

I don't see why they just couldn't call it a Chevelle SS.
Or bring back the Nova in RWD form. I'd hit it.
Too small for Impala.
And please, never a Camaro four-door, it's just so wrong.

And I don't care what people think of mullett-haired Z28 owners, I am
seriously considering the Camaro as my next car.

 

[BlackCherry06]

IMO the new Camaro isn't dragging along the baggage of the previous Camaro, which, frankly, looks best up on blocks in front of a trailer. Going fast in a straight line was it's only redeeming quality and I was glad to see it go before they further bastardized it.

My roommate is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the convertible so he can go place his order for a Victory Red 2LT with the RS Package, 20" SS wheels and the black Rally Stripe Package. Good looking car. Hope they actually make the convertible.
