Yea and they are testing it against a far more expensive Benz.

The review looks like it's being done by Richard Hammond. He liked the Challenger so I guess there's hope but it mentions a mercedes E63 AMG so if they pit them against each other prepare for a blood bath.

But Hammond is a muscle car fan whilst Clarkson dotes on Mercs. Expect Hammond to rave about the Camaro and its value whilst back in the studio Clarkson will give the usual tired stereotypes and extol the Merc. Just wish I was back in the Uk as I used to blag regular tickets to the shows. |

i don't see what the big deal is - if it's wet out, people will understand why it get a good time. if it's compared to benz, people know, well "it's a benz"..the obvious winner is the camaro. besides, with top gear 'reviews" they're anything but -they bash or praise it and then end up saying "but don't get one, get this instead"

I couldn't care less what some stupid host of a car show wants to say about the Camaro.
I love the Camaro regardless of whether they stereotype American cars or not. |

I think the Camaro will come out close to the AMG Merc. A 35K car vs a 85K car. I could buy two Camaros and still have 15K left over for upgrades. 0-60 times are close; 1/4 mile times are close and turning circle of the AMG is tighter than the Camaro.

That's what I want to see it for. I don't really care what they say about it. edit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/next_episode.shtml it mentions on there that Richard is comparing "2 very different engines" It's might not be about the cars overall, but mabye looking at engines in price ranges or something. I dunno I'm just guessing, but it looks like alot of fun anyway
