Did Forbes Drop The Ball? Why Isn't The Camaro 2013 Most Anticipated?

What do you mean hardly anything changed? Mylink and a frameless rearview mirror that's gotta be worth something? Oh and the wheels, well never mind the wheels I guess.

This is what makes most people mindless automotive zealots when they accept a car like the Accord. So much more out there than the same old boring Accord.

Except that same Honda is good for 250,000 miles+ with routine service....

To stay on subject, like everyone else has mentioned our cars are basically the same package you could have gotten in 2010.

I am curious about how the new Fusion looks in person...

As someone with a teenaged step daughter, I do wish the "family sedan" niche would get a jolt from a classy new design. I am so, so bored of seeing the same old jelly bean look to cars, regardless of the company badge they carry. There has to be a good number of families who would appreciate some style along with their practicality.


I also agree with everyone... I don't think we'll be on the list until Gen 6 is lurking in the shadows.

The new Camaro is not anticipated because it is no different than the 2010-2013. It is virtually the same thing.

You answered your own question. These cars fit a wider range of consumers.

The Camaro can be dependable sure it doesn't have over 35 MPG but, you got to pay to play and is still "Affordable" for the average American. You can find one between 20-35k easily.

i think they should change the title of the list than because anticipation is someone being excited for something. no body gets excited for a honda accord they may like it b/c of good gas mileage, but not style, performance and idk how it rides. What i mean by this is that when a new honda rolls down the street people arnt like omg i want that car

[its a syn]

Cool to see the Cadillac ATS make it, as it is basically a V6 4-door Camaro with Mag ride!!

What's to anticipate if not much really changed between the 12 and 13 model. I believe they are targeting new models.

We aren't talking about accessibility here. Sure they are affordable. Did you know the average America is 37 years old? The camaro is number 48 in the top 50 most purchased cars. A sports car doesn't even show up until spot 19 with the mustang.

Top 5 are
Nissan Altima
Ford Escape
Honda CR-V
Toyota Camry
Honda Accord
Clearly we are the minority that sees a camaro as "practical".

We are a very small group of enthusiasts here. The average America doesn't drive a sports car. They have families and worry about gas.

My grandparents have had Hondas all my life except during 1 point. My grandfather bought an envoy and she bought a Mitsubishi eclipse. Few years later, he bought a pilot and she got an accord.

My neighbors have 2 ford fusions. They love them.

A friend from school has 2 civics in his family. He loves the SI and his mom loves the hybrid.

You can't say NOBODY gets excited because that's just a stretch. Plenty of people love the cars on the list like we love our. We just look cooler.

The next generation. The ATS (Alpha) doesn't share very much w/ the current Zeta Camaro, aside from the LFX option, and CRT. As far as I know ATS doesn't have mag ride.

dont get me wrong i know they prob like them, but all im just saying is that i think the list name should be changed b/c the most anticipated should be for the likes of cars that are special or have the appeal that everyone wants it. It's hard to explain what i mean i hope somebody understands what im trying to say
