If GM wants a new 4 door performance sedan, keep the SS. If they want to bring back the Chevelle, I don't think it should be a sedan.

I tend to agree with your logic. The mopar camp was trying to stay alive. I think they used the charger name to do it. The car is a decent car regardless of the name but people were drawn to it partially because of the name.
Chevy is doing better sales wise and has a little more leeway to make cars based on target markets not just to stay afloat. The Z/28 and SS are proof of this. And other than the idea, the new Dart has 0 in common with its predecessors. That car is proof that they are trying to use a name to sell a product. They know that if they called the exact same car a neon, they would never move.
