This is the most ridiculous conversation I've ever seen. Apparently everyone is now has a Master's Degree in Auto-Maker Budget-Managing... that's cool, I had no idea. But to think that every product ever built should have "no compromises" is just ignorant. If you have all of the answers, then tell me why aren't you in the driver's seat as CEO of a large corporation? Everyone always thinks they can do everything so much better than the experts, but where is the evidence to back this up? Sure it's easy to say, but come on... get real. You sound like an idiot.
That being said, I think the Camaro development team has done an exceptional job of keeping the car as close the concept as possible, while still delivering many of the modern features that car-drivers expect. Are there a few things that I don't like? Of course. But in comparison, they're so minor that they will never wipe the smile off my face when I sit in the driver's seat.
And as for all of the fuss over foreign cars... I'm surprised no one has pointed this out... but I notice this
every single day, and it drives me
insane. All of these cars are the most god-awful ugly things I've ever seen!!! Every time I see a Toyota Prius I want to
on the driver. It's clear to me that these people have horrible taste as far as exterior looks go (which, of course, is always a matter of opinion... but wow). So to think that these people are not making "compromises" is also ignorant. They are buying a cheap car, so I would never even expect to compare that to the Camaro. Those should be compared with cars such as the Focus, which is now starting to look
extremely similar to these foreign cars... so much so, in fact, that it's starting to scare me. I'm glad we still have cars like the Camaro, Challenger, and Mustang. Get them while you can, cuz it's easy to see where the auto-industry is heading... horribly ugly hybrid cars. And yes, even the Volt - hideous.
As you can see, the look of a car is extremely important to me. I only think my current car is "ok" in that aspect, but only got it as a temporary car while I waited for this Camaro. It looked decent, had nice features, and a decent price, so I figured it'll do until then. But I don't feel that most of these people are "settling" only temporarily, like me. So in this modern world of incredibly ugly cars, I am going to embrace my new Camaro as if it were my first-born child.
