What the Camaro? It's a niche' car, If gas goes up.......... which it will, sales will be crushed. If it takes movies like transformers and such hype to get one product sellign good, well I think you see where I'm going with this.
They need to take a good look at what they did all these years with the vette, and apply those pricipals to other devisions.

The Chevy Cruze that will finally wash onto U.S. shores soon will not get an SS badge version despite previous rumors and some overseas sticker packages. This is progress.
Chevy marketing chief Jim Campbell told Jalopnik "there won't be an SS" model of the Cruze in the U.S. for 2011 and suggesting none would be added in the years beyond, sparing us the indignity of some tape-and-sparkle job like the Singapore caning unveiled earlier this year. Instead, the Cruze will top out with a faux-grilled RS version that has the sex appeal of an afternoon with your local gardening club.
The Cruze could certainly be shown up if Ford decides to bring one of its rally-infused Focus RS models to the U.S. when it reboots the line next year. But Ford has a racing history with the Focus; Chevy has done little, other than the WTCC racer, to test the Cruze on the track, instead going flat out to build the best Toyota Corolla ever.
It's probably better to leave the power work to the SEMA crowd who can tear out more weak Daewoo bits than GM really wants to mess with than glue those two letters on yet another fender that hasn't earned it.

General Motors will be demonstrate at the Paris motor show next month the world premiere of the Cruze hatchback. Chevrolet will launch the Australian-designed Cruze hatchback – which will be built in Australia and sold as a Holden for their market. "There will be some exciting news coming out of the Paris motor show and the Chevy reveals for the Australian market." said Holden director of external communications Emily Perry. Details of the Cruze five-door are still under wraps. I'll keep you posted.

Mr.Goodwrench-G.T. wrote:^ I think the TC stands for: TurboCharged.
A Chevy spokesman has said there are no plans to sell the hatchback in the US at this time. So as of this writing, we are let down. GM might get the wake up call later when the Focus 5-door will be sold here and see that there is a market for it.
