It wouldn't be right (i.e. Monte Carlo, Impala, Malibu, Charger...all names "reused", but not on the right cars...yeah, I know, all of them are nice, but GM reused too many "iconic" names on generic FWD econ-cars and Dodge took a muscle car legend and turned it into a family sedan....it just ruins the name.).

I totally know what you're talking about...though - I like to think of it as those cars having 'grown up' (expecially the Charger)...whereas the Camaro will remain Forever Young!
