PHEW!!! I hope the tips of your fingers aren't blistered from typing so much. Haha! Try not to take the negativity personally. The public can be strange. Most are just venting. Emotions are high with excitement and waiting just isn't anyone's first choice. Frustration will get the best of anyone. I deal with these things everyday from employees, contractors, and customers. Sometimes they just need to blow off some steam. I think that's what most of the negativity is. Everyone knows the Camaro will be worth the wait!

Thanks, fbod! I don't post much but I did want to thank you for a sincere accounting of your thoughts.
One thought for everyone out there. I have taken every single new car I have bought (this is at least 20 cars) off the lot. This includes Camaros, Vettes, Malibus (wife) and others. I have never waited for a car. I have also settled on things like color, packages, etc. I ordered my perfect Camaro. I too, am frustrated and I did not order until 4/6. I will be patient for my first Camaro since my 2000 SS. I will go Postal if my dealer reneges on my written deal of MSRP at time of delivery. I have bought 3 cars from this dealer and I will do a little more than just walk away with my deposit, if he pulls a fast one. That is unacceptable. There will be calls to lawyers, Att. Generals, media etc. Thanks for taking the time to read my rant! Last edited by Wild Bill; 05-07-2009 at 05:35 PM. Reason: styling |

GM Forever!

Scott- I don't care WHAT GM is paying you. There is NO WAY that it is NEAR enough!
If they had someone involved with each model that GM produces that had HALF the passion and dedication that you do, GM would be on the top of the world! My sincere thanks to you and the entire Camaro team for a job well done! I feel for the people who have ordered and not yet received. It'll be a while before I have saved up enough to buy my own, so I understand the frustration of having to wait. But wait I will, and I will be that much more satisfied when I finally sit down, turn the key, and drive away! |

I guess that since the pre-orders were promised to get their cars by the third quarter then they should just sit back and wait. After all they will get them prior to the third quarter. GM should look to Boeing Aircraft Company to see how a profitable company sales items. You buy it, you get in the back of the line, and your product will be built when your turn comes up. |

Now that is one of the most intelligent comparisons I've seen to date.

Back to "some thoughts on 'recent' developments on this site:" Patience is paramount at this time. Everything was explained and "poured out" perfectly in your statement. Please know that the majority of us are patiently waiting and anticipating that day when we are sitting in our dream machines. I personally want to acknowledge and thank everyone on the assembly line and those who do give a d@mn at GM (I believe that number to be higher than some want to admit or acknowledge). Thank you for your insight and for placing your heart on your sleeve. You are appreciated!!!

Sometimes we go through life and put everything we have into a project. There is always someone that expects more, or someone who doesn't agree with what we have done. You and your GM staff have done a great job with the 2010 Camaro.You listened to us, the consumer. I pre-ordered in October of 2008 and cannot wait to pick up my car. This will be my 5th Camaro and I feel that it will definately be the best. So GREAT WORK SCOTT, don't let the few nay-sayers get you down.

Clyde, I'm not one of the dissidents (don't mean that in a bad way), but I've only seen one horribly offensive post in this thread. That was earlier this afternoon and it has since, as I fully expected, been removed and I'm sure the originator banned. There are valid gripes here and they are being presented in a respectible manner by, IMO, some of the classier members of this forum. They have a perfect right to do that just as you have a right to your rioting mob mentality opinion.
