I doubt that GM will be able to maintain 100k sales/year. They can, however, keep interest in the Camaro alive through the convertible a year after production starts...then maybe...a Z28 after that...

Hello!
|
Yeah I agree...give the options they have this year, the vert the next and then bring in the Z28 the year after...should keep the interest up.
But...how many folks are holding out for the vert and the Z28? Enough to hold the market share...I don't know? |

I care because I can't get a 2010, maybe not even a 2011 (unless I get used). As for collector items, I doubt it. It is only the cleanest and rarest of cars that end up beating inflation.

Dudes - not to incite a riot; but, did you sit in and look at the GTO. It was so plastic that I opted to lease a Crossfire. Same blind spot and better performance, fit and finish. Sorry; but, I still like a solid feel and sound when you close the door. |

GM stopped promoting the F-bodys, and wanted them to die off.
Now they are going to build one of the best looking Camaros of all time. The problem is the economy. Now the next question will be, how do they out do them selves for the 6th gen? |

My gut tells me that the Camaro will make money for the General because: 1. It is much better looking than either the 02 Camaro or any Mustang; 2. The remarkable OHC V-6 for the low 20's, and 3. The bargain basement SS for low to mid 30's if you stay on a diet from some of the overpriced wheels and other options- no other car offers that much bang for that low a price, including Mustang or Challenger. And no collector car for at least 30 years! I don't plan to keep it that long. All these cars will depreciate. Regarding the GTO, it failed BECAUSE it looked like a Grand Am. Ugly (or ordinary) doesn't sell, unless you are shopping for a minivan. Just ask Jaguar, who have been using good looks to sell POS cars for years. Even the biggest Mopar and Ford fanatics couldn't honestly call the new Camaro ugly or ordinary looking. |
