2009 Car and Driver Desktop Calendar

So my boss just gave me a 2009 Car and Driver Dream Cars desktop calendar for Christmas because he knows I'm nuts about the 5th Gen Camaro since I have 5 sitting on my desk. So of course I ripped right into it and flipped through all 313 pages (saturday and sunday are combined on one page) just waiting to see what picture of the Camaro that they used. I saw all kinds of cars....many I've heard of, many I haven't. As I'm getting closer to December I'm thinking surely they have a Camaro in here since they've had a few Rustangs and a Challenger.

But.....not a single Camaro pic. Not even a picture of any of the past Camaros. WTF! The freaking Hyundai Genesis 2-door concept was in there for Pete's sake. Do you think this is a Car and Driver bias thing or do you agree that the 5th Gen should not be included. Personally I feel this is !

Being Car and Driver I'm really surprised they had Rustangs and Challies. Would expect it to be full of BMWs and Hondas. They really hate GM so I am not bewildered at all.

Now you've gone and ruined the excitement of not knowing which car you'll get next.

Car and Driver can eat a ****! It's so true, if it's not a Honda or a BMW they don't like it. Sort of like Top Gear! Snooty Brits!

I like that they use a Malibu as the car that they make their guest's race for the best time in.
