Thoughts on new Camaro? Should GM continue the trend?

[MattO]

I haven't had a chance to run down to the dealership yet, pretend like I have a ton of money, and drive one (actually I just want to sit in one), but some of you guys have. One or two of you might already own one, so I want to hear what you guys think about it? Was/is it everything you were expecting and/or hoped for?

Is GM newstalgia formula working? Does the car feel like a true interpretation of the original?

Do you think that, given the new Camaro's reception and anticipation, that GM should continue the trend and look to restyle/reintroduce other vehicles in their line-up?

I'll hold my opinion until I get a chance to really look over the car.

I haven't had the chance to see or sit in one in person, but they are growing on me big time.
My dealership is supposed to be getting 2 SS/RS Camaros in and I'll go down and check'em out and sit in them.
From what I hear from people that bought one, they love'em!!!

I had seen a few at SEMA and liked them. I had wondered what little changes might be made before the actual prod models came out. I checked out my first prod model on Saturday. It was a V6 . However, I really like the styling. I was a little undecided about the interior at first but now I like it. Mechanically I think it is very similar to my G8 GT which is great to drive. I hope they sell well. I think they will continue to have the mountain to climb that is public perception of the brand in general. Also, the economy in general is going to make it tough. Hopefully the car sells well, fit/finish holds up, few mechanical problems, and word of mouth spreads and they continue to sell. I don't think advertising alone will overcome that perception the public has. Consumers are only going to trust other consumers at this point.

the car needs to be more retro not new retro thats what people want the dodge looks bad ass but camaro looks ok this way like crap that way bad ass another way then to me the mustang looks like a dog turd

For the money...I like it. I wouldn't even pay MSRP for one though.

[BBC69Camaro]

Wait until 2011 where they have the bugs worked out, have more options and give incentives. Because all those willing to pay MSRP or over already bought the 2010 model...

Or pickup a 2010 model when the 2011s come out.

I wish I liked it but I don't ... the styling that is.

Doesn't light my fire and I've owned Camaro's since 1972. I would never buy one.

I think GM needs to rethink the Pontiac decision and scrap Buick.
