On Behalf of the Men and Women Who Bring You the 2010 5th Generation Camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

aloppen · 03-15-2009, 10:24 PM

My name is Al Oppenheiser, the Vehicle Chief Engineer for the 5th Generation 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. It is with great pleasure that we, the passionate and tireless General Motors employees, bring to the world the highly anticipated Chevrolet Camaro tomorrow morning at 6am Eastern Standard Time, as Start of Regular Production begins. 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

Nice to have you on the site, Mr. Oppenheiser. Thanks for building us a great car!

MRSBMCS · 03-15-2009, 10:38 PM

Thank you! Mr. Settlemire speaks highly of you! You're all great in my book! Thanks for making so many dreams come true!

MerlinZero · 03-15-2009, 10:38 PM

AHHHHHHH its Al... what up man

YAY i'm so excited.

Zabo · 03-15-2009, 10:40 PM

Mr. Oppenheiser, you and the Camaro teams both here and abroad are gods amongst men and women. You deserve the most props a single car design team could ever garner for bringing back a car that, since the mid 70s has meant very much to my family.

One can only hope that this car not only smacks it out of the park, but out of the solar system. Thank you so very much, Mr. Oppenheiser, Mr. Settlemire, and all the men and women of the Camaro design and development team.

March 16, shall hence be known within my household as Camaro Day. And be celebrated with many odd stares as such.

VIVE LA CAMARO!
