Did Forbes Drop The Ball? Why Isn't The Camaro 2013 Most Anticipated?




1) 2013 Ford Fusion - Likely price: $22,000 to $30,000

2) 2013 Honda Accord - Likely price: $21,000 to $28,000

3) 2013 Ram 1500 - Starting price: $23,585

4) 2013 Nissan Altima - Starting price: $21,500

5) 2013 Nissan Pathfinder - Price: TBA

6) 2013 Cadillac ATS - Price: $33,990 to $42,090

7) 2013 Dodge Dart - Starting price: $15,995

8) 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe - Starting price: $25,275T

9) 2013 Lincoln MKZ - Price: TBA

10) 2013 Telsa Model S - Starting price: $49,900 (after $7,500 federal tax credit)

11) 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid - Starting price: $25,995

Still trying to figure out what went wrong with this list?

Hardly anything changes between 2012 and 2013. I could understand a 6th gen Camaro being most anticipated.

Cars on that list are going to be all new models, new design/generation, or had a significant refresh.

Sorry to break it to you but the Camaro does not make it on any list of that nature anymore. The Camaro hype is gone

yep....if the 1LE version was more heavily advertised and a little earlier....it would have surely been on there but like stated about.......not enough changes to justify the interest.

The only cars on that list are brand new. Camaro won't be on the list until the 6th gen.

1LE would never have been on the list. ZL1 convertible would have had a better chance, but even still it's nothing that significant.

The real question is why isn't the 2013 Malibu on that list? This is the second time in 3 weeks Forbes has tried to torpedo Chevy and this car.

Because the Camaro is a common sight and a touch screen and frameless mirror are not anything new or exciting

The ZL1 was new in 12, the 1LE is an upgrade not a new model. The Malibu should have been on the list.
