G8
Alpha-based Pontiac RWD sedan
Mazdaspeed 3
GTI
BMW 1 Series
Mazda RX9 (If it is out by then, is even better than the RX8, and looks like the sketches we've seen)
Acura TSX if it has turbos and AWD as rumored
Next Gen Solstice

On the Contrary. MY2008, or MY2009 will be seeing a Turbo Cobalt.

The Sport Version ever since they dropped the 'SS' moniker (thank God)

EDIT: not "sport" - my bad. but it IS coming. I just looked around online

The sport trim is the old Non-SC SS model, with the 170 hp 2.4L 4

The only other thing on the radar now could be something from the Chrysler 300 series, but I haven't really been looking around or researching. Hopefully I wont have to do that research though. =)

You should always research and comparison shop. If you have only one car in mind you could very well miss a far better car, and you're just asking for the dealer to screw you over. Oh, add Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart to my list.

Exactly for me. My 5th Gen Camaro or nothing.

Normally that is a good idea. But this is the Camaro we're talking about. The chances of missing a "far better car" are non-existent. The Camaro is the far better car.

Interesting responses although I knew there would be many Camaro or nothing ones. For me the Camaro is on the top of my list, probably a convertible as I’ve never had one. Other’s I will try (expecting to buy in about 3 years) are (in order):

Nissan GT-R (Used)
Audi S5 (Used)
BMW 135 Coupe (New)
BMW 335i Coupe/Cabrio (Used)
Mitsubishi Evo X (New)

Of those not announced so can’t really put them on the list:

Mazda RX7/9
Toyota Supra

The only serious contender right now (changes often) is the GT-R if prices are reasonable for a 3 year old model. That thing is a beast.

Power Junkie · 01-10-2008, 03:52 PM
