My guess is that they want to offer a Green Camaro to make their image seem "Green." As in environmentally friendly and sustainable, and the best way to do that is in a more fuel efficient vehicle. I'm happy with my 18mpg V8 (which is great considering the output) but I understand what they want to do. Still, it seems like they could at least offer it with the L99...

No RS?! That's crazy.
I wonder if it will have a painted engine cover?

Most sales have been the V-8 SS/RS & even the V-6 were Primarily RS so it seems to me they are trying to sell what isn't selling-1LT

Why dont we just make every color and stripe package a special edition, oh and they can be different special editions depending on whether they're fakey cars or packin the real deal V8! Sound like a great marketing strategy!

Vega the panzie part isn't the v6, its the color. That thing is hideous. Not everyone who has a v6 got it because they're afraid of an 8. The 8 I was afraid of was the extra 8 grand that I didn't have to get a 2SS vs 2LT.

i understand they're trying to boost 1LT models.
but what i don't get is this: aqua blue didn't sell well so they got rid of it. I doubt that a color like green, which isn't that common for cars, would be 1st choice for a lot of people in the first place. so why are they limiting it even more by only making it available for 1LT's w/o the RS package?

I doubt these limitations will stand. I think it will happen just like the ABM and IBM became on the SS when it wasn't suppose to be. So let's wait and see.

Well, since we're right around the holidays, I would assume it has something to do w/ doubling up on baked goods.... So if someone offers you seconds on sweet cherry pie, you have been retarted.
