wtf is motortrend on?
Haven't read the magazine in a long time but I always thought they were pro-camaro and pretty even with the challenger sometimes favoring the mustang since the 5.0. But when I just read the 2013 new car guide (found it at my dads house) , the Camaro gets a decent mini review but only 2 1/2 stars? Challenger scores higher ? I don't understand ...

Who cares what "they" rate it. I drive it. I give it a 10/10.

I wouldn't score the challenger higher, or even. I think between the big three in this class Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, the Challenger is last in my book, IMO mainly because of bang for your buck.

Its a nice car, dont get me wrong, except I think the interior reminds me of a Dodge Ram (which is fine for a Ram), and they pissed me off at a new car show a couple years ago when they had the doors locked and I couldn't sit in one....but I could sit in everything else from Chevy to BMW, etc.

I don't care what other's think about my cars or anything else in my life as they don't count or matter.

I bought it and I am the person that drives it so there it is...

WOW, Motortrend can test drive and review cars that aren't even built yet? I suppose the 2013 Chally will outsell the Camaro and Mustang combined then?

Motortrend is't worth the paper it's printed on.

It's pretty simple. If Motortrend rated the Camaro high, it would have been a great review here. If they rate it low, then Motortrend doesn't know what they're talking about.

yeah, people tend to buy the worst car on the market, that's why camaro beats the other two in sales...

All the 2012 MY cars are out or will be within the next few weeks. The 2013 guide reviews 2012 cars, the 2012 guide reviews 2011, etc etc.

Did MT justify their low rating for the Camaro?
