I like the new Camaro, but wish it was a little smaller and a lot lighter.

I'm personally hoping that somewhere within GM Alpha is still alive. Aside from Hyundai, no one currently offers an affordable RWD car sized smaller than the Mustang and Camaro (and the Hyundai isn't much smaller). I think this is a huge hole in the market, especially for a related 4-door. Been saying so since 2002 when Lexus introduced the IS and I thought it would have done better as a $25,000 Toyota.

Can't wait to see this thing and can't wait to see the future of sports cars.

I think I can wait.

the technolgy will be there. The thing is demand, thats the single hinge factor.

I would not be surprised if the camaro does not last past June 1st 2009.......

mutant chicken · 05-19-2009, 08:49 PM

At the rate GM is going they won't make it to 2016 anyway ....

1camaro4me · 05-19-2009, 09:08 PM

Of course the Camaro will be around in 2016. It's going to take at least that long to get all the cars in AREA 51 delivered.

Sorry..... couldn't resist.

It's gonna be Cuba all over again.

The best cars built have been from 2000-2009. The Camaro is probably the last car from that generation. All future cars will be small and cheap.

So the Camaro is gonna be like the 57 Chevy is today in Cuba. So well built that you just keep fixing it and driving it forever. And rigging up all kinda of parts and fixes.

Double up those layers of Hammerite rust cap paint on the body and frame folks. It's gonna be a long road to the future.

The auto industry is done...................Great job DC.

SSOOCH · 05-19-2009, 10:02 PM

Nope. None of us will. The Mayans and Nostradameus predict we're all done in 2012!

Yeah... only his own personal one. All other Camaros will be outlawed. He'll park it next to Gore's gas guzzling hyper polluting gulfstream and laugh about all the carbon credits they brokered and made hundreds of billions from.

Can they modify the body lines so they don't trigger my gag reflex?

RCowan · 05-19-2009, 10:39 PM

Buy yours now and maintain it so you can ride out the generation of crap that we will have to put up with until technology and the market catch up with pipe dreams.

Just pray they don't go Nazi on modifications or do something like make any car illegal to drive after a certain age.

Keep the faith

and

VOTE, please.
