But i would definatly love to see a new T/A, be cool to have a 6.6L motor in it too but thats wishful thinking (even though it was really a 6.5 haha, but who's picky? Besides, the 392 Hemi is really a 391 LOL) Just having a Pontiac Trans Am back would be too amazing...a T/A, a GTO, and maybe a tiny 2-seat turbo car not unlike the Solstice was only...better lol, none of that Vibe crap or G6 re-badged Cobalt stuff |

Rumour mill tells me it's a Zeta based Chevy Impala / Chevelle ala GB replacement
But I for some time have been expecting a FIREBIRD / TRANS AM variant eg:The plant Tour coming up in June - Camaros & Firebirds are welcome to the GM / OCC Show (The Ontario Camaro Club has never invited Firebirds before) It's nice to dream eh! Last edited by Red Rider; 02-06-2011 at 08:38 PM. |

The Firebird isn't coming back.

Guess what movie is on TV right now... A movie that made me want to get this beautiful car. They know what they are doing.
The GM team has done a lot for us, providing us with this great new car. In return, we have done a lot for them buy purchasing so many of them. WE are on top at the moment. Do we have the fastest at the moment? Maybe not. Of course WE want to be the best, but being the BEST takes time. Be happy with what you have, I'm not sure why anyone should be disappointed. Patience. I'm pumped to see what knew car is in store, but I know I have one out in the garage I waited for, so I can wait again. |

Personally, I like "ARROGANCE" .... I own 3 of the vehicles listed above currently, Camaro, CTS-V (2011) and Z06 and have 3 other GM vehicles I love being "ARROGANT" with the 2010 Camaro. Not to long ago, I was at an event in Orlando, called the "Festival of Speed" in which their were cars that cost in excess of $1.5 million dollars, over 120 exotics on display and a 2010 Camaro stole the show by getting 1 of 10 awards , "Chairman's Award" It wasn't the vinyl wrap that got their attention, it was what one judged commented "the lines of the Camaro, just ooze sex appeal" And in regards to what GM is not releasing about HP / Z28 , I like it that way! It's like unwrapping a present you hinted you wanted, but don't know for sure until it's unwrapped......................

MO a Comin!
GM could resurrect a Trans AM under the GMC label without resurrecting Pontiac. Almost sounds like Easter doesn't it? I just want to know if / when we can start placing orders and putting in down payments with a dealer who will be able to deliver! Any dealers on the board here amongst the highest volume?
And, with all the emphasis on performance from F & C I believe that, now that their financial handcuffs are off, and GM admittedly playing catch up, we will probably start to see them moving faster and gaining momentum on a broader spectrum of products. Can't wait for Wednesday! The Big Mo is coming! |

Not trying to be mean. Just sayin'. Lack of brand direction is partly what got GM into trouble in the first place. Selling a performance coupe under a brand that has already been established for selling mid-level trucks, SUVs, and CUVs is a terrible idea.

First, please understand that I do NOT feel that the new Camaro is a disappointment. To the contrary I feel it is the best built car in its category in the world and if taking time to get it right was what it took, then touché. My point is that during this process and the bankruptcy us Camaro enthusiast felt disappointment with all that was happing in the “F” and “C” world throughout the wait. Darn it was a long and hard time having to take smack from those “F” and “C” owners till the Camaro came out. This was the reason for the disappointment. Oh God yes I agree that a Camaro in Transformers was the best, no, the only choice! But taking smack from those other guys while waiting was really hard and you must admit there were many professionals in the automotive industry that felt disappointment that the Camaro was not out sooner. Quote:
I agree completely, again please do not misunderstand my comments. I know the Camaro is a completely new and much better car then the “F” or “C” models. But, I have to be honest standing by watching these models come out was extremely disappointing. The proof is in the fact that I waited for and purchased a Camaro and not an “F” or “C” model. On top of that I give the general credit for having the insight to use the current chassis, the “F” models solid rear axle will never make it a competitor to the Camaro and according to them it would cost an additional 4 to 6 thousand dollars a car to copy the Camaro. So dollar for dollar the Camaro is a much better buy too, dare I say steal…now don’t get any ideas about increasing prices….lol Quote:
Your points are right on and again I am not disappointed in the products just the timing which as you have so eloquently pointed out was just the way it turned out to be. We are all just very glad that the general is back! Quote:
Yep most likely those one or two buyers are still disappointed and maybe the “C” is not too worried about them. But the tens of thousands of future Camaro convertible owners are no longer disappointed… Quote:
I will get my chance; the Camaro convertible is the next ride in my garage. Quote:

Here is my point about communication. When I first learned of the new Camaro I knew from the start that I wanted to experience the 5th generation of the car I grew up with as a teenager; a Hugger Orange, Z28 Camaro Convertible… So when the 5th Gen Camaro was released to my disappointment neither the convertible nor the Z28 was available. So I waited patiently and faithfully, subscribing to all of the auto blogs and forums, visiting all of the dealers, attending all of the auto shows where I would ask any GM rep I could find to ask; when is the convertible due out? When is the Z28 coming out? And all throughout this time the answers I received and read about were all over the place. One day GM is doing a Camaro convertible, one day they are not. One day GM is doing a Z28, one day they aren’t. It really began looking like neither was going to happen, so in April 2010 I went and purchased the closest thing to it, a 2010 Inferno Orange coupe just to get a Camaro, because it was killing to see them on the street and me and my faith sitting by waiting for a model that GM themselves could not, or would not confirm they were even building. So now less than 12 months later there is finally a convertible and next year maybe, with even more faith, there will be a Z28 but who knows and it’s too late for me because I now own an Inferno Orange coupe. So now that the convertible is out, GM has once again placed me in the “what if” game. Should I buy a convertible now or watch as everyone around me drives one while me and my faith wait for a Z28 that might never come to be. All this would be no problem if I could just afford to buy and sell a Camaro each time I get closer to that original dream of a 5th Gen Hugger Orange Camaro Convertible… Quote:

Again, "keep the faith" with Pontiac, its never too late, as for a GMC Trans Am?...i knew i should have mentioned GMC along with Buick and Chevy when i made the T/A / Cuda comparison LOL...but hey, at least i can say im partially responsible for getting the website for further details out of fbodfather! Im gonna be studying it religiously all night O_O
I'll keep you all posted.... SOOOO with no Pontiac which means no T/A or GTO id hope for a Chevelle, even though im fairly certain its a Camaro, i would love to see a Chevelle, itd be pretty awsome to be able to have some choice when it comes to muscle from GM, more than just which trim model Camaro you want ya know? But if this is what is going to be announced, and you dont have to say yes or no, but i just wanna say, if it is and is meant to compete with the Charger...it should have a 2-door option haha |
