Well, since both are "GM", I'd go with the latter statement hoping it's new info. But you know, I gotta say that if the Camaro is def going to be released in Jan. '09, that that honestly sucks. I'd love to be driving it in the fall of '08. It's like, "sheesh, a whole nuther year..........................

I shouldn't let myself get like this

stovt001 · 11-22-2007, 03:16 PM

Its been stated as an early 09 release for a long, long time now. That should really come as no surprise.

Eisenhower · 11-22-2007, 03:39 PM

Yeah but GM has been known to release a lot of it's new line up in the fall, that's all I'm sayin.

*DGthe3* · 11-22-2007, 04:13 PM

They have also released cars in the winter. It isn't as if it never happens, its just rare and people rarely notice it.

stovt001 · 11-22-2007, 05:31 PM

Vibe, G8, and Astra are all being released "Early 08". The general trend is roughly late summer introductions of new model years without any major changes. New generations/redesigns tend to be mid to late fall, completely new models tend to come later. Of course that is all very rough and there are tons of exceptions, but generally that's how it goes. First quarter release of a completely new vehicle seems perfectly in line with common practice to me. First quarter 09 is a lot closer than you think, and the timing, depending on how late in the first quarter they intend to release it, allows the production model to be introduced at SEMA, Los Angeles, or Detroit. Chicago is probably far too late, even Detroit is pushing it, so my guess would be SEMA or Los Angeles. I'm pulling for Los Angeles, because if they reveal it there, I will be camped out in front the night before it opens to the public.

dont know if this was said or not but dodge has a countdown on their web sight for the challanger. hopefully chevy will do something like that and we could use it on here too.

stovt001 · 11-26-2007, 06:01 AM

I saw that, and I hope the same thing. It would be really exciting when/if they put it up.

2010_5thgen · 11-28-2007, 05:12 PM

yeah. i would check it every day just to make sure the page was working,and to see if time goes any faster.

Oh, like this one?

*DGthe3* · 12-01-2007, 06:34 AM

What are they counting down to? production date?

*Mr. Wyndham* · 12-01-2007, 01:02 PM

Yeah, it's just a forum's own homemade countdown to the first of October, as far as I can tell. It's a neat idea, but...

since there really isn't any concrete date that GM has released.

I'm really interested in a GM-sponsered and approved countdown. Like Dodge has with the Challenger. THAT would be cool

Give us a date where something final has been announced...the day production begins, the day the 1st Camaro rolls off the line, etc, etc. and I'd be happy to have a counter. Otherwise, it's like, "5!, 4!, 3!, 2!, 1! Yeah!!! *crickets chirping*....*looks around*...hmmm...what was supposed to happen when the counter hit zero? hehehe....sorry...I just find it kinda funny counting to nothing. Don't get me wrong. The idea is great! But ya need that date!

Links been posted a few times now. Seems like everyone likes the idea.....including me.

BUT.. again, give us a good date like it's been said before. Read above post(s)...
