It would make more sense to possibly see a GTO, G7, Firebird or something only if the Camaro is sucessful.

Ok, so I'm thinking there's probably some Pontiac fans that like the new Camaro but they're the group who are gonna want the SS models. $30K+ is no small amount of coin to drop on a car. So maybe a lot of those folks who were on the fence before all of the sudden see a new Firebird and they're sold. I'm not sure what you mean by dies and molds but other than a new body kit and some other things like tail lights and badges was there that much difference in the F-bodies before?
Also, you forgot one other factor relating to lack of sales - people not able to get credit.
