From Jan 23 Automotive News
Camaro took a detour
“Just because an automaker kills a nameplate doesn’t mean you won’t see it again some day.
Ed Welburn, General Motors’ global design boss, said GM has wanted a new version of the Chevrolet Camaro almost since the day the old model died in 2002. But GM had too many other priorities.
Plans for a Camaro revival in 2004 were shelved, Welburn said, because GM officials were not satisfied with the vehicles rear-wheel-drive underpinnings.
“We needed a little course correction,” Welburn said at last week’s Automotive News World Congress. He said the Camaro concept seen at the Detroit auto show could be in production in three years.”

Glad to see the Camaro returning, even if its stupidly late. The Malibu and Impala names could have stayed dead, however.

.....The Malibu and Impala names could have stayed dead, however.Considering what they've done to those models I couldn't agree with you more!
