My 'thoughts' on leaks....

Today was an interesting day -- because a couple of people representing our dealerships took it upon themselves to 'leak' some documents that were 'confidential'

Let me say right up front that the reason nearly everyone is on this site is because of the PASSION -- the ENTHUSIASM -- and YES, the LOVE and LUST for the new Camaro. (and I make no apologies for my feelings!!!)

We want to get you information when it's appropriate -- and when it's CORRECT.........

Believe me: we want your business -- we want to earn it and we want to KEEP your business..........and we want you to feel GOOD about being a Camaro enthusiast.

We do not hold back info. because we want to be mean -- or to torture you.


Now -- about those leaks:
I've already found errors on some of the stuff put out there - and I've had to call a few people and tell 'em to 'knock it off!' because there are some errors!

See -- we have just under 4,000 Chevrolet dealers -- and we ask them to play nicely.........which means, among other things, that you will pay attention to things like "CONFIDENTIAL' --

When one dealer does not take that seriously -- he/she not only hurts the other dealers - the ones playing by the rules -- but he/she puts us at risk in many possible ways. Further, he may lose your trust......

Now -- ONE OF THE REASONS I LOVE THIS SITE -- is because 99.9% of the people on this site are mature and are understanding -- and are, in short, good people! You understand 'decorum' -- (and I thank the owners and moderators for helping in that regard) I was blown away by the number of emails that I received saying "I'm sorry that the leak occurred!" -- that's quite touching to me -- and so I take my hat off to all of you.

To a select group of Chevrolet dealers (such as Camaro Scotty) -- THANK YOU for playing by the rules and THANK YOU for taking good care of our customers.

To a few others -- please -- when you see "Confidential" -- we mean it!






(and no -- I'm not smiling...)


To the rest of our Camaro enthusiasts: THANK YOU -- SINCERELY -- for keeping the faith -- and for your enthusiasm for all things Camaro!

I'm sure that all site leadership stands firmly behind fbodfather. We have worked hard to bring together a strong community, and we want to maintain our relationship with GM.

We want the information and products when they are provided. While we are very excited about spy shots and speculation, true facts are the most valuable things that we can obtain. That is one reason that it is good to wait for GM to release information. We appreciate the effort put into these documents and the products they discuss.

I'm glad that you, fbodfather, are a member of this community, and I'm also glad that this disappointing event doesn't hurt Camaro5's friendship with you.

That's one thing for sure Fbodfather, the passion for this new Camaro is off the charts, any little bit and we pounce on it. I guess it's too much for some people and dealers (not Camaro Scotty of course) to keep it in until official word.

I'm sure your days will be less insane once we are in our new Camaros, one thing is for sure, I'll be thinking about the last year of craziness with posts about the 2010 Camaro as I'm driving my awesome 2010 Camaro.

sorry to hear about the leakage.
im constantly waiting on any new info that has to do with the 5th gen, but nothing beats an Official release IMO. it dismisses speculation and solidifies the bond that we(chevy/enthusiasts) share in waiting patiently as this phenomenon unravels itself

When I saw the threads this morning I got excited untill I saw 'CONFIDENTIAL' pasted on the images/docs. A large part of the site being able to thrive is a mutaul respect relationship we have with GM (Scott in particular) and when those lines are crossed it's not good for anybody. Scott and his colleages lose trust in us and are less forthcoming with new info and less active on these forums. No more special invites (man I wish I could have been at the Texas press event), no more rides in pre-po's (I'm still VERY jealous of pink) or trunks (TAG I'm not sure how I feel about that one!). But beyond those obvious perks it really just goes back to a basic understanding of what's right and what's wrong. Friends depend on friends and I was extremely proud of this community when I saw the responses to the leaked material... Scott, you can always depend on us!

How about a sticky posted to notify that leaks will not be tolerated....

Sort of a "Trespassers will be Violated" sign.

I think KarlChev's FIRED thread will fill that role.
