Re: What does Berlinetta Mean?
Ferrari used the term a lot to describe the coupe (2-door hardtop) versions of there cars.
My guess is that since Camaro had the base Sport Coupe, what should they call the upscale coupe? The Berlinatta. A fancier name for the fancier coupe.
That's just my hunch as to why they might use a term that had been used already extensively by Ferrari.

Re: What does Berlinetta Mean?
"Berlinetta is a term used to designate a coupe car (as opposed to spyder, a convertible car). The term became most popular with its usage by Ferrari; however, Maserati, Opel, Alfa Romeo and other European car manufacturers produced cars with the Berlinetta name. The term was also used by the American car manufacturer Chevrolet as a trim level on the Camaro model between 1979 and 1986."
