And then if you wait til 2012 there will be rumors of 2013 and then you'll wait til 2013 and there will be rumors of 2014..........................

Automakers are constantly imroving their cars and GM is no exception.

Now you only have to ask yourself how much fun will you miss out on by not getting a 2011?

good answer. i'll admit i mapped out the finances and if you factor in all the money you're financing for your V6 and add it to the price you'll be paying of the V8, you're already overpaying and probably approaching Z28 prices (obviously depends how much you financed)

i've decided to wait at least until z28 prices come out, or until we get more details on what the 2012's will be bringing to the table.

enjoy your V6 brother. besides some guys on this forum, everyone loves/envies the car and you should too

As with everything else, if you wait for the upgrades, you'll be waiting forever. I usually just wait until we get past the first model year bugs, then buy.

"To wait or not to wait...
That is the question"

A question almost as old as yearly model changes by the car companies. There is no correct answer.

Wait, and you will get the latest and greatest for several months until the next newer model comes out. On the other hand you don't know what the changes will be and you may not like all of them and you can bet the price will be higher.

Buy now and you know what you'll be getting. You may pay a little less but you may like what 2012 brings and wish that you had waited.

Guess what? There's no correct answer. It all boils down to this: Do you want to enjoy a new Camaro NOW or are you willing to wait and see? A question only you can answer.

What model camaro are you thinking of buying? That will help us answer your question better. If you are not in the market for a Z28 then get it now and have fun !

Most likely 2SS/RS A6, might consider a 1SS/RS if the price was right
