"Finally, the car was introduced to the press as the Camaro, considered to be a good name because nobody knew what it meant. Chevrolet produced an old French dictionary showing that the word meant "friend" or "companion", but Ford found an alternate meaning in an old Spanish dictionary-"a small, shrimp-like creature."The automotive press had a good laugh over that, and an even bigger one when one journalist found yet another meaning-"loose bowels." It didn't take long for the laughter to stop after the introduction of the stunning 1967 Camaro! "

At first, Chevy was going to call it "The Panther", but the big-boss's didn't like it, so they went with a french word Camaro meaning "friend".

ugh chevy panther. imagine.

atleast it wasnt a snake, or a horse.

i remember i read some advertising somewhere that went something along the lines of the driving experience you have in your camaro is a friendly one like it's your companion.

the internet tells me that camaro is an acronym for Cannot Actually Move And Ricers Own :rolleyes:

also interesting:

corvette-
A fast, lightly armed warship, smaller than a destroyer, often armed for antisubmarine operations.

This would be good timing for someone to post that picture of the catfish that looks just like the 98+ front.
