I am very disappointed with the new Camaro. There needs to be more options offered in both drive train and cosmetics. I would like to see a very effcient V-8, like the 305 c.i.d., that was used starting in 1977. With the exception of the silver exterior color, the other colors are too dark which makes the car look bland, notice they only use the silver in ads. Additionally, concerning the interior colors, that is the dash, the console the door covers, etc., I reckon we are back to Henry Ford's 1912 or so customer relations scheme "You can have any color you want as long as it is black".

Humm.......me too!

Too dark? Red, orange, yellow, aqua blue....

This car has FAR more options in all the areas than most cars do. Go build a toyota or even a nissan 370z and let us know how many options you get.

Well, he is currently driving something called a 'CRX' which I can only imagine means he has plenty of stickers on it (which we all know makes them go faster).

Black and dark painted cars are hot, makes the interior hot, shows dirt easily and tends to fade easily. Black and dark interiors are very hot and show every little speck of lint or dust. But black seems to be the only color any manufacturer wants to offer. So no new cars for me.

wow......akward moment

moto-camaro · 04-12-2009, 02:20 PM

let the flaming begin!

...you want the 305 put in the camaro? the LS3 is a very efficient engine, and it's brand new, as in new technology. as in good. as in not designed in 1975. has excellent effeciency, and if you get it with the auto tranny it's even better with the L99 V8 engine with active fuel management.

and too many dark colors? their's Aqua Blue Metallic, Victory Red, Inferno Orange, Rally Yellow, Silver, White, and rumors are that there's a bright green on the way. were you hoping for bright pink? Of course there's going to be dark colors offered, not everyone likes bright pink.

Great first post... did you come here just to try and stir up trouble?
Have you even seen the car? Other than photos, that is? The real thing looks great - the photos do it no justice.

TJ91 · 04-12-2009, 02:20 PM

are you like amish or something? Sorry
They give you many options, take a look around the site and you see everything about the camao, there are light interiors, different colours for the exterior. Im soo lost, did you want them to make white and silver only.
