Does every employee of General Motors refer to their potential customers as "whiners"? Is that the codename for "customer" or something? Some kind of inside joke you all chuckle about around the water cooler?

Not cool!

no it's something they refer to people that always complain/whine no matter what they(GM) do.

Is it hot in this thread or its just me

I understand the complaints, but why is everyone making a big deal over it, still going to take your asses to the dealership and buy

Hate to say, every car has its faults, the chally a pig, the stang is..........., the maro needs plastic surgrey ( judging by everyone's response)

get over it

Captian Awesome, I'm politely requesting that you agree to disagree. Because if there isn't an end to this banter soon, I'm pretty sure the Mods will kill it. Which would be a shame because this is supposed to be a pretty positive thread for those of us who are pleased with the new Camaro.

Bzzzzzzzzzzt. Wrong.

Your answer is incorrect. Nobody has ever complained or whined about the things everyone likes.

Thank you for playing! Better luck next time.

Please read. I'm done explaining why I don't like some of the changes and have capitulated that I will have to go aftermarket. Notice that I have not said anything ABOUT THE CAMARO here (Since Fbodfather spoke to me). It is what it is, and I accepted that and apologized.

My apology was ignored and I was called a "whiner".

If it's okay for SOME people the toss around insults here and you guys will defend them then this forum has problems killing a thread will not solve.

seriously you appologized and then freaked out when someone went on a rant. sometimes it's better to let it be and hope he/she just missed that post.

instead you take it personal and you shouldn't have. because you had moved on but came back to it.

You're not going to drag me into an argument that will go on and on for pages because you can't admit it when you make a mistake.

well like I said you took it personal, you had moved on and then freaked out because someone that supposedly works with GM got frustrated reading all the posts about how GM changed this and isn't bring us what it promised. If you feel I'm in the wrong for getting pissed at your statement I'm sorry. you and I both know GM does not view it's customers that way.

Ok, whether it solves the ploblems or not... someone close this thread or delete it, or something.... becasue the hostility has gotten slightly out of hand. I hope no one kills me for saying that, but its true. This thread was meant to show what we might be getting. Some people liek it, some don't. The ones that dont have accepted it and agreed to move on, so can we please do that? Can we just move on? I would say kiss and make up but that is jsut a little freaky... so can we shake hands?? Start new.... be friends?

EDIT: I was typing when boxmonkey posted his last responce, so i didn't see it. BTW

I'm trying to be objective here. Even though, I don't agree with your opinion of the car. I'm trying to keep my request limited to asking you to only understand that the car is the way it is for a reason. And no one on a project this big, just casually makes changes that they know are different from the concept. They spent tons of time and energy finalizing these issues. And a significant part their motivation to work so hard was to try and keep you and I happy. The reason your posts are frustrating is the fact that you are ignoring these changes were required, not optional. And there is nothing anyone could do or can do about it. So, my request is please put yourself in their position and cut them some slack. No one says you have to like it. None of us want you to change your mind about the Camaro. We just want you to lay off the guys who had to work through the process of getting it as good as humanly possible. And for the record I never defended him calling you a whiner. Just like I never condemned you for not approving of the changes.

All I'm asking is let the dead dog lie.
