I think we'll have to wait for C&D or MT for the concrete performance times/specs. I like the 2 seperate V8 options. helps GM hit the CAFE marks that have been laid down. and i'm going to bet the V8 manual gets close to the auto's MPG rating. Did anyone else notice the Convertible's release date is now 2 years away?

Looks good in most of the colors (I'm not a red fan though).

I always knew I wanted White or Silver. But, damn them (lol), why did they have to add that nice looking Cyber Gray!

Argh! Now I have to decide between 3 colors instead of just 2!!!!!

Say, when are they going to unveil what the SS will look like? Im also pretty curious about all of those custom accessories that they gave us a small glimpse of a couple of months ago.

Some things I am really happy about that I didnt expect:
  • Bluetooth
  • 6 standard airbags
  • ABS and Stabilitrack standard
  • HUD possibly being an option
  • Ambient LED lighting on dash and door
  • USB connectivity

This is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm really happy with almost everthing they've done with this new Camaro, very pleased. My one complaint is the color palette, not the first green color and I personally think (though many will disagree with me) that many of the colors are very blah, the ones that aren't are high metallics that will probably fade like crazy. I'd like to see the option to order one in primer to have your color choice applied locally after purchase. Don't want white, black or yellow, could probably barely live with the Victory Red, the rest of the colors I don't like, give me a Rallye Green with black stripes, give me an option for primer and I'll have it painted locally.

for me it's hard to get a good read on the colors when i'm just looking at basically a cartoon version of the camaro. they started doing this in the brochures too. i like the blues, love the dark grey, but still want to see them on a real car.
