My Mother bought the Berlinetta the first year it bowed in 79. I've been looking forward to a retro camaro for the past 2 decades. In my opinion the designs have been subpar at best the past 20 years. The 5th Gen is a great design that i hope is a sgreat in person as on paper.

My biggest complaint, and if everyone doesn't back me up on this you're an idiot, is the way the car is being rolled out.

The on-line press conference was held in a freak'n garage that didn't do it justice.

The dealers have no idea what they are selling. Has anyone at GM heard about "web-conferencing"? There is no control by Corporate GM on how they are taking deposits. I had one dealer ask for 4k down and another ask for $100 down.

What would it take to produce a brochure that explains all options along with a color swatch?

You ask the consumers to show GM respect? They're not showing us any at this point.

Put the money into brochures instead of paying a dozen people to ride around the country and give you their pre-scripted canned answers to our questions.

Don't question my passion or love for the car when i'm buying it from a picture.

Step up GM and give us the appropriate tools to evaluate and purchase the car. It is no wonder that they are in financial trouble. Get your house in order so that we acually get to have a 5th gen Camaro.
We have an official color brochure on this site in PDF format. It is very nice. Dealers have their own policies on orders because they are not GM. They are independent businesses protected by franchise law. Don't like it? Take it up with your government. GM can't do anything about it, just like any other manufacturer.

These people don't get the cars to ride around the country as a PR thing. It is a product testing program, plain and simple.

I hate to be rude, but you simply have no idea how the auto industry works.
