Im kinda losing interest in my car? I have no idea why, does this happen to anyone else?

Its a garage queen, not even my daily driver, ive been thinking about the 11 STI sedans alot?

I can see this happening, but an STI sedan, seriously?. You trying out for the next Fast & Furious movie or thinking of rally racing?.

some people just ain't CAMARO people. no big deal...the WOW factor must've worn off, that's all...

I can see your point to an extent. There are times I catch myself thinking the Camaro is just another car, but then I put my foot to the floor and I'm all smiles again. When mine was in storage for winter (5 months worth of storage) I started wondering why I even bought it. However, the second I fired the car up, I remembered the way I felt when I drove it the first time. Sounds to me like you need to drive it more.

True and yes im serious about the STI ive had one and as far as a driver rating 5 stars easil... Super fun, dont knock em till you have a chance to drive one spiritedly without a sales man sitting next to you....LOL

I appreciate the comments though, and i think your right Hemi, cause everytime i do drive it and walk away from it i turn back and say, "damn its sexy."

Noticed alot of Camaros showing up on Autotrader and Ebay. I dont really get it.

Life is too short to be bored with a "dream car"

Go out and get what you want. Kinda like the flavor of the month.

Every guy I know with a good income switches out cars every 18-24 months so why not you?

If you dont like the spoiler you can always swap it out with something different just like 50% of the Camaro owners over here already do.

I think the new STI Sedan in that new STI only Plasma Blue Peral color looks :tweetz:

Plasma Blue Pearl would be the color I'd go for, especially since its a STI only color and WRB is played out.

Not directing this at the OP, more of an..overall view.

One of the reasons why you are seeing more and more Camaro's (both SS's and sixers) is the fact that a very large part (maybe not the majority) of 2009/2010 sales of the Camaro were what I call "Me too!" sales. The Camaro was the "ultra cool!" and "in" car to have. People who are only concerned with status, having the newest, badest car jumped on board but were not truly Camaro fans or dedicated drivers.

As a result of the great Camaro sales and ease of production, you are seeing ALOT of new Camaros' out on the road (I cant go a day now, in Southern Oregon, without seeing upwards of 15+ in a city of around 50,000). For people who are only interested in standing out and such..that is distressing. As a result they are bailing on the Camaro for the next cool car.

Its simply the downside of hype and hyper-enthusiasm. I remember in 2009 how the Camaro was just plain and simple impossible to find. Now they sit on lots for months on end.

Mine is not my daily driver and spends a lot of time in the garage, but I always look forward to getting in and driving. The thrill has not worn off even a little.
