"Want to improve America's image in Europe? Fire the state department and hire some folks to drive Challengers around."

but tbh, when I first saw the car a few weeks ago, I didn't like it as much as in the pictures.

i have to say that magazines starting to hike thier base prices scares me.

*radz28* · 10-07-2008, 12:55 PM

That's a good read; I just picked that issue up and am pleased with it. I can't wait to see some SS tests

i just finished reading the november car and driver review of the camaro and motor trends first drive review. Car and drivers price does seem to be higher than previously discussed. Also it seems like the two reviews drove completely different cars because motor trend seems to give the camaro an excellent review while car and driver says it is just ok

Just got mine in the mail yesterday but no time to read it yet. Will get to it later!~

Here is a copy of the November Motor Trends Article on the first test of the Camaro V6. I have yet to see this on their website, however, these are scans from their magazine issue.

Pushing_Tin · 10-08-2008, 12:59 AM

I can't wait until they test the V8!

the Links above are to PDF's of the actual articles if you don't want to read screen shots or if you want to print them

I read it. No mullet jokes! They're actually comparing it favorably to the Infiniti G37!

Moose · 10-08-2008, 12:58 PM

It made me so proud of GM and their efforts put forth regarding the 5th Gen. Camaro.

I honestly had a smile on my face as I read the reviews of the V6 in both 'MotorTrend', and 'Road & Track'. I was so pleased with what I read that I've made copies of both articles, which I'm giving to my "Mustang driving" sister, and her boyfriend who also drives a Mustang.

Anyway, congrats to GM and the new Camaro!

"The American G37"...interesting. Because MotorTrend pitted the G37 directly against the BMW 335i -- and ranked it slightly HIGHER! They're favorite part of the G37 was its handling, too, btw.

It's not usually much use taking what a magazine says for truth; but I think this bodes well for the Camaro!
