I would have just laughed the guy right in the face and went "Ahahahahha, good one! You're a funny guy!"

I love the looks of the 300C but come ooooooonnnn. There's no resemblance.

Some people just want to be contrary. I dont think the Camaro alone can save GM but from what I can see with the other cars coming out and the camaro. i think they are well on their way.

Ohhhh no.

You be proud of what you do. Don't worry about what they say, they're just jealous that they're stuck in their offices and cubicles and you're out on the line building the 21st century sports car for the best automaker in the world.

There's a few very good reasons that assembly line workers are paid as much as they do...and very few people understand those reasons until someone close to them experiences what happens in assembly plants.

And for anyone who harbors those kinds of thoughts on this board, I challenge you to spend just one day installing parts in a car...you'll change your mind really quickly.

WTF was he smokeing? They look nothing alike. Should have askd him for a hit.
I agree he probably has a Challenger and has heard that comment about his car so much and just was trying to say something negative about the Camaro but couldn't come up with anything origonal.. he would have been better off saying "that thing looks like a ripoff of a G8"

I looked at him and asked if he needed glasses! He then proceeded to tell me that the Camaro would never save GM, and it was a waste of time building it. I then told him he was telling that to one of the 14,000 people who ordered one already and the crowd gathered around the car obviously did not agree with him either. I assume he went off to go look at the newest KIA or something.....
See my sig.
