That video is great it should make everyone on the Camaro crew proud and it also shows the hypocrisy of some of these journalists...on another note did anyone think the kid from cars.com was 12 LOLOLOL!!!

I'm not too upset about the reviews thus far. I want to hear all of the negatives so that I can make my own decision with ALL of the info.
Things that I felt were going to be an issue with car are being mentioned.
The gunslit windshield.
The lack of over the shoulder vision.
The hard non padded dash(why GM, why?).

The other negatives i picked up on were from the jalopnik review which i believe to be the most well rounded review.
Since the Camaro shares much with the G8 GXP and has a shorter wheelbase and is 1 generation ahead, it should have all the attributes the GXP has, +1.
I think the general thought is that the GXP is a more well rounded handling car than the camaro.

The '80s are gone. a high G number is impressive, but if it doesn't have the rest of the moves dialed and great steering feedback ,then they need to go back and fix it for 2011.

I also picked up on this issue from Dale Jr.s comments on CNBC when he said it still had the old musclecar feeling. I don't want any old musclecar feeling in a 2010 vehicle.

Gm should make a few running changes on the 5thgen now based off of these early reviews and get this car as right as they can within the bodyshell they have to work with.

Remember, the 1984 Z28 won car and driver's best handling car in america comparison and with a few changes it can win it again.

Great video. Made my day. I agree the video comments were better than the written reviews. And yes Angel the guy from cars.com did look like a 12 or 13yr old. lol

ArcAngel · 03-22-2009, 10:55 AM

I kept looking at him saying is this kid for real LOL

its nice ot hear all the good things from these people rather than them always trashing it.

Am I the only one that hasnt read a bad review. Ive read so many now and I dont know where you guys are saying "-ve reviews". Sure there are comments about that could have been different but the overal reviews I've read and viewed were wonderful. And no I dont drink Kool aid!

I only found jalopnik to be negative overall.

This certainly is a positive video, but that's called "editing". I would like to see what negative comments were edited out, I think they're just as valid as the positive comments, if only to show how nitpicky some reviewers are. For example, one review complained about visibility (I forget which one), and yet visibility isn't even mentioned in this video.

Great video, I am so excited about this car.

Thanks for posting that. That gives everyone that have not seen are sit in the Camaro yet an idea of how great the car is all around from a lot of pro, export, car testing people. It is a really speical Camaro. I'm really excited about the Camaro coming out party that our dealership in Fredericksburg is going to have with all of our 1st 2, 3, 4, gen Camaros there. May 2 and then June 26, 27, 28 for the GM, Camaro Nationales. It will be a
