For the one so butthurt about the Blazer not being reminiscent of the old K5, I would like to point out that the Charger was not a 4 door car in the 70s, but look how successful it is now.
People under 50 are not going to shun the Blazer because "its not a blazer".... hell, people under 35 don't give a crap if the name of the vehicle existed 10 years ago..... much like the charger, they ate going to buy the vehicle and it's capabilities..... not the name.
As mentioned above, people want more than JUST the best performance car..... they want that real life usability. The VAST majority of Camaro owners aren't taking them to the track.
Let the ZL1 be the super track oriented model, let the SS be ther real world car. Let casual drivers have a seat at the yankee, and give them an upgrade option if they want the track.
Remember the BOSS mustang? It didn't stick around, because Ford realized "track ready" wasn't what drove sales.
Dodge appealed to the ego of aggressive drivers. They were bodybuilders instead of powerlifters. Dodge buyers didn't care that ther camero was the better performing powerlifter, they liked that Challengers were the big, brawn, sexy bodybuilders.
