That's almost 2 years from now.........two years is a long way off. I bet Obama has the Camaro down to an Electrical Vehicle by then.

Not really new news. Somewhat consistant from what we know it was just too much to get done on the first YM (year model).

As far as the Z/28.. I really really think that they are strategically waiting for the hype to calm down.. give it a couple of years, then smack us with an attempted re-emergence in the Camaro with the return of the Z/28! Just a thought but I believe it to be true.

Please don't consider this to be political....but the Obama/Pelosi/California consortum is going to prevent any Z28 type of vehicle from being built in the future simply by the new regulations that are coming out. It will not be cost effective for GM to build a bigger and better hot rod in the future.
Grab your SS Camaros up right now while they are still available. The gas guzzler tax will apply to them in the near future, and they will eventually be a rare commodity. The handwriting is on the wall on the issue of non green cars like this. GM will not have the freedom to determine what their product lines will be when the government takes the control of the companies as is projected. How many of these cars will they be able to sell if they all have a $20,000 gas guzzler tax on them? Actually there is no need for the feds to do anything to ban them. They simply have to make the gas guzzler tax high enough to prevent the buyers from spending the cash to buy them. The model lines will die out on their own with nobody buying them. There is nothing on the books that would stop that from happening.

I'm fine with the 'vert coming out a little later. I need to pay off the Sol before I get the Camaro and that should be around summer of 2013. So right in that timeframe I should be looking at a new 'Maro 'vert.
That will give them time to work out kinks in the top mechanism and for the dealer hysteria to die down. |
