The Camaro was Chevy's answer to the Mustang. The Vega was a sub-compact car that came in several versions (we had the station wagon back in the early 70's).
It was considered "cutting edge" because it had an inline 4 and an aluminum engine block to go with an aluminum body. They sold in record numbers but weren't worth a crap. They rusted like crazy, had tons of mechanical problems and ended up being garbage cars.
