Chevy has done a lousy job promoting

I have been to two different car events, one car show and another a casual cruise in. Both times I have had a few individuals ask me what the car was. One set of guys knew the car was being remodeled but thought it was in 2017 and the other guys didnt have a clue the Camaro had a new generation released.
They all loved the car once I showed them it but Im getting tired of people asking me what it is. My friends and I are starting to have fun with it and call it a 64 1/2 Shelby

I honestly don't mind that people don't know, it keeps them guessing, plus I debadge all my cars, I like the fact that people come up and ask plus the less promoting the better I think, only those that are true car enthusiasts will go out and buy one because they keep up with what's going on.

Lack of sales killed the Camaro before. It can happen again.

I like a cleaner look on the trunk, plus the SS badge on these new camaros is in the weirdest location possible

I took mine off the trunk for two reasons.. It's cleaner and I love the fact that most people have no idea what it is. Mine is black/black and I totally blacked out the front bowtie also.

Meh, if people want one, they'll know where to look. Due to low sales volume, Chevy may be trying to save some $ in advertising costs
