will motortrend have a SS review next monnth? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

i'm about a week and a half from getting my april motor trend issue and i will be very disappointed if i do not see a Camaro SS review.

i think chevy has had enough time to "perfect" these cars and im really starting to lose patience, my buddies are even teasing me saying that the car is not getting made due to the lack of reviews.

my september 08 issue said they would have a SS review in 2 months, its been 5 and nothing.

I know I do believe so, just because I thought we would have got one by now.

Technically the Camaro wasnt finished till Janurary (right?) so....most things said in magizines are BS.

I saw yes, but it's only optimism.

I'm a very patient guy. So they can wait as long as they wish. It'll come when it comes.

I am not sure, but for magazine to publish in March, the cars would have been evaluated in January of maybe even December. G M sets embargo dates that the magazines comply with at the risk of not getting cars to review in the future. This has nothing to do with cars not being ready, they've already been tested.

duder4thgen · 02-17-2009, 08:46 AM

I'm willing to bet we'll see SS reviews right about the time they hit the dealerships.

Beats me, the camaro didn't get an honorable mention in "pulling the wraps off 18 2010 models" March issue

I'm sorry if I missed a post from earlier, but they're already tested the cars then?

Probably. Its not as if they test the cars and the magazine is on the stands a week later.

if you go to motortrend.com everything that is new on the site will pretty much be in next month's magazine
