I am merely one voice, representing all of the Design, Engineering, Manufacturing, Marketing, and all functions in-between, but we all share the same passion for the Camaro and it's history as all of you share. Every person on the Camaro team has worked many long days and nights (literally) over the last few years to make sure that the Camaro you are about to see (and purchase

) is the best one ever, and truly a world-class quality 21st Century Sports Car. Please know that there are some of the best and talented people located in Australia at our Holden Engineering Center, as well as here in North America, who have put their hearts and souls, blood and sweat into the car. We have been lucky enough to spend significant amounts of time with the car, to ensure we get it right for you. Now, as you become the ultimate judge and juror, it is our extreme hope that you find the car equally as impressive as we do. You are going to hear some even more exciting news about the car tomorrow morning from our Senior Leadership. This is just some icing on an awesome cake for you. So, in closing, I guess there is just one thing to say....................CAMARO IS BACK! ENJOY

WOW!!!!!............what an awesome first post!!!!!

Thanks goes out to the entire GM team. Let the GOOD TIMES ROLL!!!!!

Hopefully the car will be such a success that there will be 3 shifts.

Design: Al, you hit a home run with the looks of this car. Even people who want a Lexus admit it's a great looking car.

Price: Problem with the previous Camaro was that you didn't compete well with the Mustang in this department. Not the case now.

Peformance: V-6: Overhead cam with variable valve timing, 300 horsepower and 6 gears standard and is able to keep up with the more expensive GT Mustangs with a less expensive car. V-8: 426 horsepower for low 30's- Who else does that? Both cars show a lot of intelligence and thought.

This is the kind of thinking that will pull the General out of the hole! Great car!

Thanks Al for sharing, it is much appreciated! I am sure that the Camaro will be everything that we know it will be. IMO GM and Chevy really hit the mark with the Camaro. We thank you and the team for bringing us such a fine piece of machinery as the Camaro. It is truly a work of art!

The last time Canada, The USA and Australia came together to create some thing as new as this it was the Alaska Highway. A world class car has been reborn.

Thank you Chevrolet... Now I can finally get the wife's Accord Coupe off the property.

CommandoSS · 03-15-2009, 11:59 PM

Thanks for all of your hard work Al. The day that I get to buy and drive one will be one of the best days of my life

A big thanks to you and your colleagues.

*TAG UR IT* · 03-16-2009, 12:21 AM

Well isn't this pretty darn cool!

Welcome to the site, Al!

I can't not even begin to say thank you enough times for all that you and the Camaro team have done for this new car. I could hear the enthusiasm in your voice at Indy...and remember how were talking about how many days were left until production and how you were finally counting down the days (and about how you got to drive it every day, yeah, yeah, yeah....

)

I'm just so overjoyed for you in everything that you've done. YOUR end result is finally going to be released tomorrow and I congratulate you! Job well done!
