I'd only like it if they gace it its proper respects. Mostly 2 doors, the curved styling and the knights crest.

 

That is kinda how I feel about it. Your observation with Camaro and Corvette, there were no significant breaks in the linage/legacy of the car. The Vette has one production year called off and the Camaro ended in 2002 only to return a few years later. But when it did, like it or not, it kept a lot of "Camaro" attitude, it was not watered down or a rebadged something else, it stayed a Camaro.

I honestly did not become a Monte enthusiast until I bought mine in 2008. Prior to that, I had a liking, fondness for the 4th gen SS models. But since becoming an enthusiast, I question if GM would do the car right and bring back certain "signatures" a Monte should have. Those questions in my mind are too big to push for it's return.

Duane, you mentioned Bel Air folks don't want GM to return it, I'm sure Chevelle guys are the same and old school Impala guys were not fond of the Impala return. The reason for some of this is loosing scope of things the true hard core enthusiasts expect to see. Such as I learned GTO fans were not happy with the re-badged Holden as it was the first GTO to NOT include factory hood scoops. No I'm not a hard core GTO guy, I never would have picked up on that. I would have enjoyed the re-badged Holden for what it was even if it had another name plate on it (coulda left it the Monaro for all I cared). But, the GTO guys, they did not embrace it, to them (with just cause), it was NOT a GTO.

My general opinion: If you bring back a name plate, bring it back with the enthusiasts in mind.

 

Looks good just make it a FWD car
