Anyone who says they know for sure either has a very high paying job in GM Product Development or they're just guessing like the rest of us.

Well if you don't think that the article is a prank then this leaves me a bit sad and discouraged. Let me present another analogy; Chevrolet once faced the dilemma with Monte Carlo (at least one time), as they pondered whether to make it a sedan. In a way they came close to this with the re-introduction of the Lumina in '95. They did the right thing by retaining the Lumina name and calling the coupe Monte Carlo. In the end the Monte was canceled (alas at the top of its performance).
Another scenario Chevrolet could look at is developing a nameplate with synonyms relating to the camaro (such as Panther). I'm not too sure how that name would work, but Chevrolet could at least investigate the possibility. It would just be a shame to see the camaro change, and then become watered down or insignificant. Our current camaro proudly represents the best of the heritage.
