I think the Camaro was designed by a French guy and the word "Camaro" is French. Thats why the emblem on the front of the car is blue, white, and red... thats the French Flag. But I don't know what the word means.

Isn't the Word Chevrolet French... the Let pronounced Lay? So it seems logical Camaro is too. French is one official laguage of Switzerland so.

Re: Unimportant question

rumor has it that the word camaro is from a certain, old dialect of french that means "friend". of course ford argued when the car came out that it meant "small woman", but i think that definition might be a little biased...

Re: Unimportant question

check that, ford came out with an old-spanish definition that meant, "a small, shrimp-like creature".

intersting side note though, gm considered naming the new car gemini. the company considered using the letters "GM" in the name and came up with G-Mini, which morphed into GeMini...

Re: Unimportant question

Re: Unimportant question

its where it all started man, the gauntlet was thrown, and weve been eating em ever sense. personally being a scarface fan, i always thought camaro meant "little friend" pull up to a stang at a light, and over the wail of the engine and smoking tires as i pull away, scream at the top of my lungs "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!!!"
