I hear you bro...but there are all kinds of people in the world. I agree with you they should take their negativity elsewhere, but everyone's entitled to an opinion, even the whiners. Just ignore 'em they've obviously got nothing better to do.

You know how Scott was saying for a while that GM won't ever be able to make a car that pleases everybody, but that based on Autoshows, etc...this car looks to have pleased 90%?

Well...I think the trouble with the very few people (becuase it is just a few, they're just really loud ) who do this constantly is that they don't realize they aren't part of that 90%. Which is unfortunate.

Why on earth waste all that time for something you seriously had no intention of doing? Why look for things to freak out over? Why is it that we have unreasonable expectations? Why do we expect perfection? Name a car that is perfect? If you want to find a reason not to purchase, you can find one with any car. That isn't the point of a Camaro fan site, or any fan site is it?
Ever see the news? It is the same thing. Freakin out over trivial (sometimes) meaningless $#!+. Like the car chase shows; "he almost DESTROYED that passing car" when it was 10 feet away etc... drama queens...

why is the gas cap on the wrong side anyway? I might still get one if I can move the cap to the driver's side!

My grand prix has a little arrow by the fuel guage that tells me what side the tank is on. All cars need that.

Im not getting a camaro if it doesn't have the little arrow.

I feel your pain; I feel the same way and agree with your thoughts. I, personally, don't like the negativity and don't know how constructive it is. Another way to think about it is perhaps GM could still be considering final details and maybe that kind of input is sought after by them to get a feel for the pulse of our community.

To be frank, IMHO, people that sometimes make those comments are true fanatics anyways. That may not be too bad a thing. It doesn't affect me how you, or anyone else, appreciates this car, only that you people buy them so GM will continue improving and producing them. There is probably not going to be a single thing that GM could do that would sway me NOT to purchase this car when the time is right for me. Yes, I want the top-dog, and even if that is cancelled and there is only an LS3 to be had, I'd be happy with that. Given the apparent success the G8 community is having with that car reassures me that we'll have similar opportunities.

Keep your head up. You'll have your chance

It sounds like we're on the same page. My wifey has the 4-door for her and our little rascal and I'm getting rid of my '02 so I can get an '11. I need some money for an LSA The G8 is still on my radar though, encase I can't get my '11.
