Saw a 2010 Camaro today
I don't have a camera phone and I couldn't have taken a pic anyway but I saw one in Saginaw today. it was going to opposite way and the front caught my eye as something unique. When I realised what it was, it had passed. I would assume that the boys at Delphi were testing it. They make some of the front suspension pieces for it.

I saw one this afternoon in Clarkston. No need for a camera here, I already know what crap looks like, and don't really need an image to refer back to. It was a very ghey maroon, too.

uh.
oh, never mind.  I would say it was about the same as a Challenger. It looked very WIDE. EDIT: My new boss told me he and his son have ordered one. They sold a 71 Z28 recently that they restored.

No, if it is lame, it is lame.
Hey, people pay for my opinion on how stuff looks! But like Wayne said, I only noticed it because it was odd to see the bowtie on a challenger.

Worst GM marketing job, ever. People saw that f****** car 4 years ago now... they wanted it then.. found out they couldn't get one for ever....
then forgot about it. In fact.. I'm tired of seeing it show up in ads and movies and whatnot and then realize they are STILL milking the advertising on it before releasing it. Give me a break.

GM ought to have never discontinued their F-body. Their fourth generation Camaro was a rather unpleasant beast, but they essentially handed the profitable domestic muscle car market to Ford in the interim. The engineers working on the Corvette – in its Z51 and ZR1 iterations - have proven themselves reasonably capable with power train and chassis development. Even the former minions at Daimler Chrysler (now Cerberus) were astute enough to reintroduce the Charger – in a timely manner - to market.
Too little, too late, for Bob Lutz and his well-intentioned cohorts, IMHO. Never mind anyway, as we’re keeping them afloat with the extorted dollars with which we’ve already relinquished to Richard Wagner and his ilk. /rant |

Wow. After examining the pictures more closely, I could really see what a hideous piece of arse felch it really was.
So the idea with this car is to appeal to the 'neo-mullet' market segment, because those folks are so flush with cash right now, it makes perfect sense..... Standard operating procedure at GM: 1) Paleolithic, inbred Jed management FINALLY picks up on a market trend that is basically spent. 2) Being the insular, unmotivated, overpaid Detroit arse wipes they are, they bring a product to market at a glacial pace. 3) The product tanks into the subfloors of hell, and the management shrugs their shoulders, and wimpers, "I could have been a contenda!" 4) For reasons that elude all involved, we bail these spunkvacuums out, to go on making dung, never thinking to fire the lot of them and replace them with guys that have last names like 'Nakamura' or 'Schmidt'. Buick, and perhaps Chevy, are viable companies. Who knows, maybe even Cadillac. Those brands should be sold off to the highest bidder in bankruptcy. Number two, make it so. |

From the pic, I like it. Wouldn't buy one, but I like it.
Johnco, how are you? You don't write, you don't call....I wish I was doing another show in Morgan City, but my liver is glad we're not!
