And its good that GM is moving away from 'twinning', I think that the Lamda's were a bit much -too many compete in the same price range. For the Camaro, if GM offered say a Grand Sport (or Grand National) based off the Camaro's platform, that would be alright since it would be for a compltely different market. But to resurrect the Firebird, particularly when there is the G8 and the Camaro makes little sense.
I would say get rid of the G8 or phase it out and bring back the Firebird.. It would sell a whole lot more cars for GM and in two years or less (since the platform is already there and they only need to change bumpers, and lights..) would bring a fresh design and look and propel GM to even higher sales...
