Thoughts regarding Camaro
I'll limit my time on my "soap box" and keep this as short as possible.
In light of the Camaro finally rolling off the assmebly line, and the excitement resulting from our beloved car arriving at dealers and in peoples driveways, the level of excitement has increased tenfold. I ask the we all keep in mind the following; - Scott, John, Cheryl, and many folks at GM have done a tremendous job in bringing us the Camaro. And the access we've been granted is unprecendented. We all need to remember that and be thankful. - There is MUCH we don't know, and/or realize, in what it takes in bringing an entirely new car to market in such short order. While we all are very excited to see the Camaro's arrival, let's take some time to realize the time and effort required, and not so quick to judge, complain, bash, or criticize over an item we may feel isn't "up to par". The "perfect car" has not been, nor will it ever be, created. - Finally, respect Scott, John, Cheryl, and GM for the efforts they are making. Respect each other. Times are very exciting right now. Lets keep our passion, and a clear mind as well. Thank You Ed |

The moderators here are absolutely awesome, but I bet it is even challenging for you guys and gals to defend GM when they constantly get everything but the car, wrong. I'm still shocked I got 8.1% financing on my Cobalt SS/SC when my credit rating was 820 and I put 15K down. How the hell does that happen? If GM is doing such a superb job, why does this still happen? |

DG, if I treated you like crap, lied to you, cheated you, beat you to a bloody pulp within an inch of your life, took you to the hospital and then asked you to be my friend and forget the whole thing, would you?
This is exactly how I feel about the way GM has handled my last few car purchases, but for some reason I keep coming back for more; trying to be better prepared than the last so I don't get raked over the coals again and again. I'm always going to be wrong and I'm not going to go to war with a moderator. You guys really do this website justice and it is truly amazing. For once I would just like to see one of you guys admit that there are problems in the system instead of asking for respect for them. I won't perpetuate this any longer. I said my peace. |

Well, not that bad, but the principle is the same. I feel seriously let down, that was the point I was trying to make. :(
I love Chevy and will never buy an import. The business end of GM is just so bad that it can't be ignored regardless of all the love I have for their vehicles. |

If this is an inappropriate place to voice displeasurement, please, by all means remove or move this post to somewhere appropriate. I will not post anything else on this thread regarding my frustration with GM.
