GM's improving... I'll give them that and hopefully it's not too late for them.
But really? Comparing a Camaro or a GM product to a BMW? Sorry to burst your bubbles' people the BMW's have much greater quality than pretty much anything GM makes, and this is coming from a GM fanboy...
Now I'm not saying that GM can't match the quality of BMW, they can but in order to do so they're going to have to spend more money in using better quality components to really rival BMW, and then you'd be paying BMW prices for a GM car...
The G8 clearly rivals the BMW 5 series in value and performance that it has, but in overall quality? Don't think I'd quite say that...
I believe the Camaro is going to be one of GM's best quality vehicles to come out in a long time from GM, only time will tell.
But I was told by someone that just drove a Camaro SS last week that the FE3 suspension in the Camaro SS was pretty stiff. Which obviously will be better suited for handling, but if GM wanted to match the ride of a BMW then they would have had to soften the suspension a little or offer the Magnetic Ride Control that is offered on such cars as the Corvette, Corvette ZR1, and the various Cadillacs that it's offered on. But that would clearly drive up the cost and price of the Camaro, which we don't want.
