I actually wanted to get a cool old car to drive around maybe in just the summers. I found that I actually liked doing the cosmetic mods on the Camry. When looking around I liked the look of the Gen 1 Camaros.
This car has the look of the GEN 1 Camaro, it's a new car, it's cool. I could get it in stick shift as I miss that. Gets as good gas mileage as my Camry (on paper at least), has 304 horsepower, and I believe it has the potential to be a modern day classic.
Not only that, I found I could get GMS for this, and my father is retired from GM. He was also in the military so I have USAA, and get that discount as well.
Last but not least my wife and I were going to need a new car in 2010 anyhow as her lease is due on her 2007 Malibu. When I went looking I was told due to allocations and the constraints in the beginning that it might be February by the time I get the car. I ordered on May 19th and got a vin on Wednesday.
So to me it was everything I wanted. A cool car to drive around in, retro style with modern conveniences and enhancements, and I finally found a GM vehicle I wanted to use my Dad's GMS for.
I got the V6 as I don't think I would ever take it to the track, and it feels like I could "see the USA in my Chevrolet"
