Looks like they are comparing it with the V8s thats not going to make the v6 shine any

Car doesn't look all that impressive design wise, atleast in that picture. Maybe the wheels are too small and just a horrid design, but the car doesn't look any better than the Challenger or the Mustang. It doesn't look anywhere near as bold as the concept. Maybe the black color dulls it out. The SS will, and better, look much better than that. |

Autoblog posted an explanation for the other cars....
Motor Trend was driving the Camaro. Car blog Jalopnik showed up and crashed the PR event driving a Mustang and Challenger, apparently upsetting the GM PR rep that was there http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/25/f...f-muscle-cars/

Thats obviously the old test mule v6 that gave everyone the hint that it was the LLT DI v6 a few months ago hence the headlights and the now v8 only front scoop

They didn't bring an SS because the other two cars would've soiled their tires from fear

I agree. I think Camaro is the most aggressive of the three, however, I like the Chally' in a close second. The Mustang is getting a little long in the tooth, but that'll change soon.
I like that all three are black though. It's too bad it wasn't a decked-out SS though.

Probably about worn out from the 300,000 miles worth of testing.... LOL joking, but those test mules do go through hell and back, and if the old Mule can hold it's own with two brand new cars then just think what the real deal will do....

This is just like C&D, comparing the V6 to the V8's. Watch the Camaro get points for interior styling and handling, and then get crucified when it comes to performance.
