Buick lived because it sells huge units overseas and especially in China. GM could not afford to kill the Buick nameplate with these kind of numbers. We at home would have preferred Pontiac to live, but business is business.
I think there will be renamed version of the Caprice police car and it will just be SS. If the new Impala was not already done, it could have been the Impala SS, but I find that highly unlikely given the release of the new Impala. As mentioned before, the GTO well a good car was not a huge hit. I do not think GM will dig up the Chevellle name again to do the same as it did on the GTO.
Maybe they will bring back the Lumina nameplate for NASCAR.
