Plus the younger crowd, to me, seems worried more about how fast their internet connection is than participating in the 2 greatest long-term niche movements in history. Rock n Roll and hot-rodding. Car? That's an A to B thing. Wheels on a refrigerator would do them fine.
I still can't wrap my head around GM not giving a crap about the Camaro. They point to, at least partially, the poor sales for the demise of the Camaro. Again. It's their fault. If your sales are slagging, then ADVERTISE! Find out why they're not selling and fix it. Or try to. Get off your bums and DO something to counter softer sales. I saw more Challenger commercials than I ever saw Camaro commercials. The issue is, it was the captain running the ships aground to kill both the 1st place Challenger and Camaro because EV's were the future (in their minds).
I get it. Early on in the second coming, the 2010-14 were flying off the lots. Why spend money when you're on top? But have a plan B you dumbazzes. If this doesn't work (that ugly face lift try comes to mind), then try something else. If you try and fail, I can at least give you credit. Being the ad person in charge for Camaro must've been the easiest job in history. Because from this side of things, it doesn't look like much, if anything, was done. And this was before the decision was made to go all-in on EVs.
Progress can be good or bad depending on which side of the fence you're on. We got our Camaros. All those bastages who didn't will miss out. Too bad.
