And of course, there is the Mustang, which we all know is very affordable. So if you want a V8, you don't have to just look at GM and the Camaro.
Interestingly, Chrysler gets penalized for CAFE fines every year and pays it and doesn't care, just like Mercedes and BMW. GM is a big company with lots of money. Why not just pay the fine like Chrysler does? Will it really affect their bottom line that much? If they sell in high volume and beat the competition in sales, wouldn't paying the CAFE fine still be worth it?

^Even if I could ge over my Ford hate, the Mustang is still an import here, same with the Challenger, so prizes go up by quite a bit, even more so with the Challenger that is expensive to start with. The Camaro has been comfirmed to be going on sale as a regular Chevrolet model here which does a lot for the prize but I fear that this would dric it up into Challenger range here.
Plus it's like...imagine you've started to get to know a girl. You like everything about her, both what's on the inside and what's on the outside. Soon you've fallen in love with her and it seems perfect. But somebody comes along and for whatever reason you can't have her. You would be heartbroken. That's perhaps a bit extreme a comparison, but that's how I would feel if the car ends up too expensive for me.
I know I'm freaking out a bit, but this car is really one of the very few things keeping me going right now and I just don't want it to slip from my grasp.
