fbodfather, first off I have to say that sucks being...well, betrayed I guess is the word, like this. But as you yourself noted, most of us still love it even in this prototype.
Actually I earlier todya was in the area of the place I've been thinking of buying my Camaro at and popped in to see if they seemed legit (looked online only before today). And sure, they seemed decent enough. I asked my way to who was responsible for American Chevrolets (remember this is Sweden so the mainly sold Saabs and Opels but also had an American section for Corvettes, Cadillacs, Hummers and Chevrolets). I found the guy in question and asked him if they'd decided yet whether or not to import the Camaro. "Yes we have, we'll be taking them in as soon as possible". I said "Good". The guy paused for a bit and then smiled broadly and said "It's beautiful, ain't it?". "Sure is" I said and smiled back
Just thought I'd share that and add that if this car makes me feel even half the lovely way I felt when riding along as a little kid with my dads old American V8 cars, then I'll love it. And I trust that it will manage at least that
