It's a made up General Motors marketing term, right? It's usually only Trans Ams and Grand Prix that I see with RAM AIR hoods...

everything you need to know

MYTH: Use of a scoop on the front of the vehicle to collect intake air, or provide “ram air” can raise engine performance.

TRUTH: At automobile velocities, there is no ram air effect.
