I'll just say (as one of GM's formerly biggest critics on this subject), they really can't talk about it, and they do have a really good reason for it.

To get a good idea, look up Doug's post. Without going into it, his post is pretty dead on as to the secrecy reasons surrounding the use of Camaro's name.

There are separate reasons as to why GM killed the f-body, why they can't talk about it, and what's going on with a potential sports coupe. They aren't all lumped under one reason, they are all different subjects.

The "trust & have faith" comments used to grind on my nerves & rub me the wrong way as no doubt it does to alot of people. But, it will make alot of sense when it does eventially come out.

I suspect it would make a really good book once everything plays out.

 

Thanks for shedding some light GuionM

 

This really disturbed me----dropping the name Solistice and calling it Sunfire of Firebird???

1---it looks nothing like the Sunfire and is RWD---this woud confuse people and insult the RWD Sunfire (solistice owners)
Sunfire does not have a good rep and this is not the way to fix it.

2. Way too small to be a Firebird and no V8.

I seriously hope these rumours are totally without any basis in fact---although knowing GM--it's hard to put even this past them.


Otherwise, I really look forward to the Solsitce--give a coupe with a 6 speed and blown Eco-tec please!

 

I hope they make a Solctice based coupe and sedan. My biggest complant about econoboxes isn't that they have a I4 it is that they are FWD.

A RWD, Caviler sized, Solctice based Sedan, with a 180HP VVT Ecotec would make a good second car.

God know we could use some inexpensive RWD cars.

 

All Camaros are Red

Anyways, i like basically all of it except the name for the Solstice. I don't get why Solstice is such a bad name for a car, i really like it.
Sunfire would kill it before the beginning of production. To me Sunfire says cheap, slow, econobox that is ugly.
Firebird: No they wouldnt, that is going too far. Dont get me wrong, ive liked the solstice ever since it was unveiled, but it is not a Firebird, nothing on it says Firebird.

GM KEEP THE NAME SOLSTICE. DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME TO SUNFIRE OR FIREBIRD!!!

 

Just think... with Solstice and Equinox, GM will have a vehicle for all seasons... literally!
