What do you think this car will do to Camaro sales?

I was wondering what you thought about the Prius taking away Camaro sales. They're clearly in the same market, and they both perform about the same. What do you guys think?

I think some members have been a little too generous when comparing cars to the Camaro. There's no way this car would compare to the Camaro, either, so I'm pointing out the ridiculousness of these discussions.

Hang in there, re; class - not much longer.

And agree - too many comparisons.

GOOD comparison!! I think the non-makeup-wearing-70's-era women will for sure be lured away from the Camaro to the Prius...after all, that's the kind of demographic that buys super-economy cars.

@ Bob Lutz.

But then...the Camaro could probably tow the Prius across the country, couldn't it?

The pruis dominates the Camaro. It gets better mileage and . . . umm . . . it has a bigger battery . . . and . . . umm . . . it gets better mileage

I think the Camaro "pwns"...the Veyron driver just dropped enough money to buy 66 Camaros!!! Or....~$1.5 million for an extra 2 seconds.
