Hype is there from my point of view. Driving it daily is like having a huge "sticker" or something on my back because people follow you wherever you go! I've been followed to work twice and home once (kind of weird really).
I drive anywhere...even Lowes and I have to stand beside the car to talk to people. People take pictures of the car...even pictures of themself standing beside the car! Went to a local meet a few days ago (muscle cars for the most part) and had a throng of 40 people around the car as soon as I turned the key off...then proceeded to answer questions for the next 3 hours!
I've emptied a dining room full of people while going through the drive thru at McDonalds...pulled 10 or so folks out of Starbucks...yes Starbucks!
I get thumbs up everywhere I drive or people rolling down their windows to tell me "awesome car" or "hell yes!" or other saying/phrase. Wrecks nearly happen daily around me as people try to see the car!
Can't even get gas without someone talking to me.
Hype...yeah there is plenty of hype about the car...just drive one and you'll see!
Buying...don't know to be honest. I'm not certain those 14K orders are sold orders or dealers ordering cars? Hard to say I guess...plus the economy is in the crapper so not sure how many will be sold this MY or even next MY.
I have a feeling this will be a 2 or 3 year model run and then she'll be gone. Hope I'm wrong but with so much on the state of GM and the current economic climate...just don't see a car like Camaro making it for the needed 3 or 4 years to make a nice long production run...again, hope I'm wrong.
My thoughts only...
