I liked the camo.

It reminded me of all those Wolfgang Puck California Pizza Kitchen outlets you see in most major airports.

Ya know, white's not so bad on this car. A good metallic primary color wouldn't be too bad, either... Something to accentuate the haunches. Anyone know the difference between the front track and rear track on this car? Looks... meaningful.

Yet another reason I heart Maximum Bob.

@TinaChow: That's good pizza.

I bet Brenda is upset.

It makes sense - what's not to love about this car?

E.Peper - "THAT IS NOT THE INTERIOR FOR THE PRODUCTION CAR..."

E.Peper - "pssst... *whispers to an administrative assistant* better tell Bob to change that final draft interior reeeeeal quick!!!!!"

On the upside, this gives Brenda more time to focus on the camo-wagon on the Holden trailer.

So what. This car has been seen more times than Britney's crotch. Already boring anywhere outside of 9 Mile. Dead in the water when it finally arrives next year...two years too late. When the Camaro finally arrives, I predict four months of sellouts, with ridiculous dealer markups, which Lutz will flog mercilessly in the press as the sign of "the final step in GM's turnaround," whereupon sales will fall flat on their face as the 50,000 folks who HAD to have one will have gotten theirs, then no one else will care. Sales will taper off to 1,200 a month by the end of the year, which Chevy will quietly bolster by dumping the difference to fleets. You heard it here first.

it won't be dead. but demand might satiate quickly.

Mustang is doing okay, gas prices notwithstanding. If this thing is as well-executed as the CTS and Malibu, and priced competitively, it may surprise us.

Looks a bit fat perhaps?

But who cares. Welcome home General Bowtie. I'm so happy you make cars again.

I challenge ANY car company to make a vehicle that DOESN'T HAVE A FAT ASS!!! What the hell? The Challenger will eat this car for lunch styling wise...and I'm not a fan of either. This thing looks like an angry marshmallow from the rear.

@lounatic:

I bet the photo/angle is somewhat deceiving. A lot of cars (from the F430 to the Prius) taper towards the rear for good aerodynamics. Not that this car's aerodynamics were given a high priority.

I like big butts and I cannot lie...

Once again....yawn

@Volvo144:
i'm not sure if sales will taper off quite that quickly, but 2 years too late is spot on. i thought this thing was supposed to come out with the transformers movie, and it's still months away. i guess they are in no hurry.

@Volvo144:
@MagnificentBastard:

Ok ladies we got your point. I'm sure the General will design a nice pink car to match your purses.

I am tired of paying money to oil rich countries who hate
us and want to take away our freedoms. $100/ barrel is crazy. People who buy these types of cars personify freedom. With all the time they are taking with R&D, why doesn't GM offer with 100% ethanol or as as Flex Fuel vehicle and give us the freedom to drive without restrictions!!!!

@coaster.n3rd: Go to hell, if i don't like it I don't like it.Maybe GM will design a nice a car that turns right,left,and doesn't make you look like a meth lab customer.Asshole

@ebm14: Or you could stop bitching,buy some energy stock,offset your gas money,and not be a complete gomer.

This car brings many emotions out in people.

I'm not sure what that means, but it could be a good thing.

@lounatic: Eh, the Challenger looks like a fat mullet, this looks like a robotic mullet, and I, for one, welcome our futuristic robot overlords.

Meanwhile, this is actually a reasonably interesting move on Lutz's part - it was pretty obvious this was going to look like 90% of the concept, so what was the point of the camo?

Hey Bob, I saw this retro rehash in that retro rehash movie Transformers.

@Maymar: Err, meant to say futuristic redneck overlords - I was just distracted by my love of all metallic objects.

Does it come with a standard?

@POLAR: Remember our little bet? ;)

I think Maximum Bob gets the point about the car coming too late. It'll be here sooner rather than later.

@Volvo144: PT Cruiser, anyone? Anyone...?

You had me at "angry marshmallow."

@B: Now how are you going to install a B&M ratchet shifter in this car with a standard?

I'll bet a dollar that all the 2009's are autos.

@Volvo144: Dead in the water when it finally arrives next year.
- Doubt this styling will be DOA.
- Always happens with anticipated cars that there's the initial "gotta-have-ums" followed by stable sales. "Spike, then fall" is hardly revelatory.
- Yeah, sales will fall. To fleet levels? Tad bit doom and gloom there, don't ya think?
- The generation loyal to this model is still active in emotionally driven car buying. While the heat is off the muscle car redux market, there's sufficient potential in this chassis, styling, and genre to give it a lifespan longer than you propose. Multiple engines, a convertible, the (admittedly market-driven) various packages, inevitable aftermarket products, etc. will help bolster sales for some time. For those who want an alternative to the 'Stang and who can't get into 'Vette's, this car is a pretty decent answer. I wouldn't discount it yet. Your comments are more aptly directed to the Malibu than the Camaro.

Just think, kids, once upon a time there were real Challengers and Mustangs and Camaros and Firebirds and Furies and Chevelles and Cudas and Firebirds and Vettes and Torinos and Satellites and Impalas and Montereys and dozens of other fire breathing monsters haunch by haunch and snout by snout rumbling down the road. This is really true, kids. So it's so weird to see the automakers doling out a Mustang here and a year later you might see a Challenger...these are thin days, dudes.

@Novaload: Were gonna have a G8, and it's variants (Including ute), the CTS-V, The Corvette Z06 and ZR1, and the Camaro. GM is bringing the Muscle atleast.

@MagnificentBastard:

Wow... angry. You must be on your period.

They should just start shipping them or manufaturing them now!!!
(i know it doesnt work that way =/ blah)

@TexanIdiot25: It's still a lot different. In the mid-late 60s nearly all cars looked aggressive even if they lacked the hopped-up engines of the "real" muscle cars.

Unless every car on the road is a G8, 300C, Ute or Magnum, muscle cars aren't as popular as they once were and they never will be.

I like muscle cars, but in all honesty this will be their very last breath.

@coaster.n3rd@coaster.n3rd:I'm impressed you can spell period.

Marvelous!

That looks aewsome. Cant wait for it to be officially released

Look its the Stay-Puft Marshmellowbile!!!!

I like it,but I probably won't buy one.

I don't know if they will be able to steal the critical "fat blonde chick who smokes" market away from the Mustang.

I have visions of a 3.6l V6 twin turbo 'maro... (aftermarket of course)

wow
i am really surprised by that

but its awesome

My only objection is the Bow-Tie; much rather have the Camaro Red/White/Blue banner badge on the grill and in my steering wheel.

I'll take mine in black with a beige interior, please.

@lounatic: "Angry marshmallow"...isn't that kind of like a muscular Barbapapa?

@MagnificentBastard:

Well men are generally smarter than woman.

this cold be a real turn around for GM. I'll take one.

I don't get this car....Of course, I don't live in Detroit and reminise about the good ol days either. Seriously, what about this product says progress?

@Cooper47: The goal is profits and share, not "progress".
