I agree Hyundai is making nice cars. A guy at the office has the V8 Genisis sedan and loves it. However, I look at the whole package and the Japanese cars just don't get me excited. I'm driving a 2000 LeSabre with 170,000 miles and wouldn't trade it for any of the Japanese cars. Maybe it's my youth coming back, but the Camaro is worth the car payment. A Z car is more money and looks like a 911 wanna be that just hasn't got it to me. If it wasn't the Camaro, it would be a used 2008 CTS.

Andyrew ... was that Genesis AT or MT ??
I've only seen the Genesis interior in person, the Camaro & 2010 Mustang I've only seen pictures. Based on pics though, I like the 2010 Mustang interior best, Camaro 2nd, & Genesis 3rd. As I said earlier in this thread, the Genesis SEAT was very comfortable and driver ergonomics were almost perfect. As the Camaro is my top choice at the moment overall, I just hope I like the seat and driver ergonomics ... I can live with the look and feel of the "as good as it gets plastic" everywhere, but I better be comfortable driving it. From what Number 3 has said in many different posts, I should be very satisfied ... I'm hoping he's right !! Doug |

I like the interior, but the rest of the car is very average. That sort of mediocrity won't win shows, but it will get customers who want a faster family car for a good price. The Camaro is very sporty and won't pul off that image as well.

Here's the problem that I have with the Genesis coupe - YOU CAN GET ONE! Same can be said for Mustang and Challenger.
What I want is a Camaro - and not a single one can be seen or touched at a dealer in Iowa. Not One. My dad was just in Southern California. Stopped at EVERY Chevrolet dealer he saw to ask about the Camaro...not one store had one, or information on it. In fact on two occasions at seperate dealers he was told that customers have stopped asking about the Camaro completely. These customers are tired of waiting and reading about the cars in the press and NOT being able to touch and drive one themselves. This is only HELPING the sales of the other cars. How many Camaro5 members have we 'lost' to the Challenger this year already??? :upset: For me, this huge push in the press showing the great features of the Camaro and the great mileage should have WAITED until the dealers at least HAD CARS to show and get people in - this would have translated to orders if the car is as good as it is being touted. Now all GM is getting is a bunch of people running to the dealers to see the car they just read about and finding an Aveo 5 in the showroom. OH! And in dad's entire trip the ONLY information he saw on the new Camaro was at a Rental Car stand - a big picture of the Camaro and a tag line stating they will be available for rent Spring of '09!

But it's got 99,984 miles on it (should hit the big 100k sometime in the next month - I ride my bike everywhere). I change the oil about every 8,000 miles. It's gone through one timing belt since its inception. Never had to replace the brake pads. I've gone through one CV axle about 2 years ago, and noticed last week the other one was popping when I turned. That's. It. 100k miles, 1 timing belt, 2 CV axles. Never had an electrical problem. I've even replaced the stock head unit with a pioneer CD player and all 4 speakers. Gets about 29 mpg on the highway, 22 in town. Is it cool? Hell no. Is it fast? Yeah right. Does it score me chicks? I'd have better luck telling girls I was gay. But it has been more reliable than just about any other car I, or anyone in my entire family, has owned. When I get my Camaro next year, I'm going to keep my Sonata for my DD and play with my SS. Seriously, you sound like a BMW owner hating on American cars. I guess some of us just don't let our pretentiousness get in the way of keeping our minds open and knowing a good deal when we see one. |

I gotcha. Well...to their credit -- that is why they're churning out only those V6s right off the bat. They want every dealer in the nation to have at least ONE for people to touch and drive and see. Plus...you've got to factor in the some 14+ thousand preorders that are bottle-necking the cars from getting to dealers...in some ways, what you describe above is our fault.:( 14,000....that's almost 20% of how many they wanted to build.
I guess my point is - they're trying. The time it took to develop will ensure quality, which will pay off in the long run. Which is really what's important. Sure...they're going to loose a few early orderes...but it's being produced for more than one year, right? EDIT: I don't think the Challenger wasn't much different, really. They made 6000 SRT8s the first model year, and they were all consumed by preorders. Dealers didn't get their hands on any 'till late 2008. |

Transformers 2 is going to come out this summer, and by that time a substantial number of pre-orders will have been filled. I know everyone here who gets their 'maro before the movie comes out will be there on opening night which will be just like free advertising for Chevrolet. And by that time, there will be a whole wave of people wanting info on the car, and at that point all of the dealers will be MUCH more familiar with the vehicle and be able to give much more accurate information about it. Don't worry, bro. This thing is going to be a huge success. Just wait and see |

Why wait as long as we have without a peep, then blast it all out when the car still isnt ready? In the scope of things this is a tiny gripe, but really, GM has done a very poor job building this car. until about a week ago the camaro web site was a disasterpiece. Others have done much better. For instance the 370Z. We hardly heard about it until it was IN dealers. First time I read my Motor Trend article about it, I could go test drive it. And it hadnt been over-hyped. I like that.

To those that use the worn out refrain "It's only a fill in the blank" need to come out of their caves.
As a Corvette owner do you know how many times we hear that??? It's about time we find more mature ways to voice our likes and dislikes. The fact that a Camaro is a Chevy in many circles is no different than a Hyundai, so let's stop being so righteous, it’s not very becoming. |
