SO now that its made, did you think that back in 2002 the camaro was dead and never to come back?

Crowley · 03-19-2009, 05:51 PM

I knew it would come back .. just a question of when ..

To be honest with you i thought it was done forth. THOUGHT!!!

*radz28* · 03-19-2009, 05:54 PM

I wasn't sure. I leaned more toward it not coming back I think, otherwise, I would've probably saved my money instead of trading in a car that was paid for, for an '02 Z28. All that matters now, though, is it's back.

I was pretty sure it would come back or at least i kept telling myself that...lol

I pretty much knew it was coming back. It's basic marketing strategy. If something isn't selling as well as it use to, suspend it for a few years and bring it back new.

I wasn't hearing any news in 2004 or 2005, but i was hearing TONS of news and magazines with a new 2005 mustang coming up and how great it WAS and how its like a revolution becuase it looks like the 60's model. I was pissed that a camaro wasn't showing up, and i knew that even if i did hear some news that car will take atleast 2 years for it to be made, but the mustang was on its 2nd year. :(

Always figured it would be back one day, just not sure in what form. This car could have easily been brought back as a 4-door like the charger or maybe something even worse.

oh ye of little faith!!!

So, Scott, if you're still there, why was the Camaro dropped in '02, allowing Ford to gain so much market share, only to reprise it a mere four years later?

I'm not Scott

i never loved all camaro's after 1969 so after i saw this in 2006 i was really happy that they made it look just like the 1967~1969 camaro
