First off, you are very right.... We seem to get very emotional when it comes to discussing price, and the thought of a 35k+ Camaro really sets some people (certainly myself included) off. I think this really shows how much passion this car elicits though. I mean, just the thought of not being able to afford it really gets us going!

As for this... inflation is a major factor. 2002 doesn't seem that long ago, but it was 5 years ago now and the gap will grow to 7 years before we see a Camaro. Inflation is typically around 3% a year. if you take that into consideration, a $23,000 Camaro in 2002 would cost $28,287 in 2009. So Inflation certainly can increase the cost of a base Camaro quite a bit.
We will just have to wait and see (unfortunately. I for one am tired of waiting to see :( )
