The Camaro is being marketed to a WIDE array of people. Men, women, black, white, young, old etc. etc. If they targeted enthusiasts they would be leaving 90% of the market out.
The old mighty dollar, that's the only thing they care about. You are kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

Bullshit, my @ss...
Of course they care about enthusiasts. And yes, they care about profit!...I'll absolutely disagree AND agree with you there. Now...
GM does care what enthusiasts think.....because they are the ones that ARE Camaro. We are the people that have a love for everday driving and love our machines. The general public might not care about this or that. BUT, enthusiasts help to shape the Camaro for the general public....to make it more appealing with the options that everyone wants.
What I mean is this....GM took 15 people (enthusiasts) to Detroit to see their thoughts on how the camaro was progressing and asked
THEM what they could do to better the concept to production model. An emphasis was also put on everyday driving for everyday drivers....those men, women, younger crowd, etc...who would be buying the car. GM DOES want to market it to everyone. Which is why everyone won't be happy.....but they are doing the best they can.
If GM didn't care about enthusiasts, they wouldn't have people like us addicted to the computer and this site. They wouldn't have umpteen sites dedicated to Camaros.... They wouldn't have Fbodfather posting daily on them. Scott is an enthusiast too. Look how many fbodies he's owned....and who does he work for? Granted, GM isn't going to add a specific hood just for a small group of people. Now, they would add that hood if EVERYONE wanted one...and hated the other one.
GM does have to do what is most profitable for them. YES. But, they do care about us. If they go and screw up so many things, part of their largest free advertisment....US....won't be there. MY opinion....they care a great deal about us.
