Any other cars you are considering besides the Camaro? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just wanted to get an idea if anyone is considering any other car(s) for their next purchase besides the Camaro.

So what is on everyone's list to try?

[KRPT]ECP · 01-10-2008, 12:14 PM

well if the 5th gen doesn't feel right when I test drive it, chances are I'll be looking towards a cobalt or a 4th gen.

zip. Nothing short of a Natural Disaster wiping out Oshawa would prevent me from getting one.
BUT if that happened...I don't know what I'd do. I might have to save for a few more years and get a 'Vette.

I'm pretty set on the 5th gen... But if we hadn't have found out we were getting the 5th gen again (Thank you, Camaro gods!!

) I would be really interested in a new Tahoe...

I'm pretty sure that I'll be getting a 5th gen. But if it doesn't feel right, or gets cancelled at the last second (unlikely), my next choice would be to look at an M6 Dodge Challenger (provided the mark up craze is over). If there's still price gouging on the Challenger, then I'll go off the map and look at the new WRX STI.

STI ftw.

I would seriously look at the G8 and I like the new Malibu.

I will own a muscle car/sports coupe. First on the list is the 5th gen.. but others for consideration

Mustang - Yep i said it.. don't care its still a muscle car.
Challenger - waiting on info for the r/t version (the 5.7 hemi)
G37 - I ABSOLUTELY love the interior, its the best one i have EVER sat in.. that said the exterior is as blasai as a camery. If i go this route Ill have to save for a bit longer.

*DGthe3* · 01-10-2008, 01:19 PM

Camaro or nothing. If it turns out to be a too expensive or for any reason that will prevent me from getting a new Camaro, then I will just keep what I have and then continue to buy used cars

SoFlaZ · 01-10-2008, 01:24 PM

I would go for a turbo cobalt if they actually make them, an STI, or Mazdaspeed3. If I cant get my Camaro I'll go for some turbo 4cyl car.

*DGthe3* · 01-10-2008, 01:30 PM

No factory turbo for the Cobalt, but they do come supercharged

willisit · 01-10-2008, 01:30 PM

911.. had a couple and loved them (older, 993s) and whilst my budget does not stretch to a 997, it's still 2/3 years before the Camaro hits the UK - so who knows?

Pencil.Fight · 01-10-2008, 01:32 PM

If I can't buy the Camaro, then I will build a Camaro. It may take a lot longer, and a lot more money, but it will be mine.

There's a rumour that Acura is coming out with a new TSX coupe that's going to be turbo charged with all wheel drive. That also might be worth looking at as a potential alternative.

But I doubt the Camaro will dissappoint or be overly expensive. My guess is we'll all be 5th gen owners proudly displaying our new rides here.
