Agreed, it's a great car. However I'm wondering what some of the other 2010 V6 owners think. As some people may have read in the V6 section, there have been A LOT of issues with the LLT engine lately. About 5 reports of blown engines and for some reason several qts of oil mysteriously going missing. While this makes me uneasy, I am in love with MY car. I'm just nervous about our engine, especially since most of the dealers are replacing the engine without even investigating the problem.

I have had mine for 6 days now and am loving it, wouldn''t change a thing, the V6 is more than enough for me.
What I really like about this car is how it reminds me in subtle ways about my 68 I was forced to sell two years ago. Looking out the front windshield is so reminiscent of my 68 and the looks and feel of this car remind me a bit of my 68, I used to miss my 68 but after this short time having this car I have found that I have gotten over it fairly well now.

Absolutely no regrets! As this being my first new car, my grin has not changed since the day i picked her up. I am very fortunate and very proud to own my Camaro. I still open the door to the garage and stare.

BUT if my budget was in the just camaros price range, i would probs get a camaro like it did.

Sell them both and get a ZL1? You do have 2 really nice cars btw, nothing to regret!


I'm in the "No regret and lovin' every minute" bunch, 2+ years later. Sure there is faster out there... but for more dough. The only better bang for your buck is a *cough* mustang gt *cough* and that isn't better to look at in my opinion. (both have heritage) I read good news about the Camaro almost everyday (i.e. resale, crash rating, etc.) This car is worth having!


Sidenote - For the convertible owners that regret... I feel for you, but it's a cloth roof. You had to see this comming? The only cloth top I've ever seen that can stand the test of time is Porsche's. For some reason it works for them.

MSRP: Starting at $65,390. Slightly more expensive, and since they don't have Pearl White (gotta settle for White Diamond Tricoat) it's extra.

After 2 weeks I have no regrets at all. Well, I regret that the top doesn't have an automatic hard cover like my 370z (2nd car back) and BMW 135i (traded for the SS) convertibles did instead of the manual cover. But that's just the way it is and I knew it when I bought it. After those cars I'm enjoying the hell out of having a big V8 with a manual transmission again. I'm hoping that I'll be luckier that some others with the top problems. Time will tell. At least leaks will be less of a problem, since I rarely drive in the rain here in Phoenix.

I know, trust me. I could have gotten one of those, or a Z06. I'm a caddy man at heart though.

Went with the Camaro because of transformers, really. Car is amazing...and once the mods started, I found it hard to part with it.

For months now I've been trying to talk myself into selling my Camaro since it was an impulse buy and I was originally in the market for something more performance oriented like a CTS-V or a Z06 but I just love it too much! This V6 really kicks...and I've owned dozens of V8s before this...it feels and drives like a Porsche! I'd do it all over again; I just hope it holds up well as a lot of things are already starting to rattle and creak
