And remember the strange comments from Reuss "I think that formula of beauty – and a little bit of functionality and fun – all of that is important. If we were getting back into Camaro, that piece of it is really important”

So what is he saying there? It needs to be more functional than a 2 door coupe to appeal to more folks, at worst a CUV and at best a hatchback. I think he's saying we can't release a low volume toy that'll serve as a 2nd/3rd car.

I don't know what to expect except a Gen7 Camaro is probably not a priority.
Maybe get Buick on board with a new Skylark or something

If you use enough parts across the two vehicles the $$ might work out.
