GM won't bring back a 2 door Chevelle. It would compete directly with the Camaro, and since they had no intention of bringing back the Firebird even before Pontiac was killed off its pretty safe to say that they want to limit internal competition as much as possible.

The alternative would be a 4 door full size RWD, but I would say that the mainstream appeal of the Chevelle is limited. People remember it as a muscle car, which is why enthusiasts want it back, but its also why marketing would rather have a Caprice or Bel Air to work with. Those cars are probably just as fondly looked upon by the masses, but nobody will be up in arms when they're sold as V6 sedans (like they would with a Chevelle).
