They’re hot, no doubt. But a month after they hit showrooms it will no longer be a head turner. :cjerk: ---

still no answers as to why NOT to get one other then the headturning and everyone having one. If that is the case i don’t mind. i just don’t want everyone either asking if its a fuckin Transformer or seeing everyone with the same color i guess yeah hopefully LS3… but we shall wait n see what GM decides ---

too expensive. another old man’s car like the vette. $28-42k for an SS or $39-45k for a Z is too much. If they made one available with v8 power and no options (crank windows, manual locks, no air, no cruise, etc.) and made it cheap (like $20,000) I’d be all over because that’s what a ponycar _is_ and that’s what the Camaro _was_. ---

[/quote] Whatever the base model GT is look for it to be around the same price for the Camaro with a v-8 (most likely the LS3 since the LS2 is being phased out now). ---

meh, dunno brockway. sub-25K (at Max) would suffice, i think. 20K? meh, SC’d cobalt SS’s go for that much. Not to say it’d be nice to pay that little for a 5th gen… EDIT: why not to get one? questionable GM build quality, that’s what. Possible issues being a first-year of a new gen car. Those two reasons alone would suffice for me to ignore them til at least 2010, but hey - do what you want with your $$ 😉 ---

[quote=“JDMAllstars,post:5,topic:32381"”] well im just trying to get a little feedback and peoples thoughts. the only 1 reason i might not go for it is because everyone else will when it comes out but it looks hot though i will say that [/quote] Skittles.

I think GM is missing it’s mark by releaseing this a year later. If they were smarter and got the car ready for production sooner they could have had this thing on the lots for sale right after the big transformers rush which they paid the rights to have their cars in. Talk about marketing blunder :bloated: Needs to be on the lots this fall as an 08 not next. ---

I’d never buy a 1st gen of any new car. Even more so for an American car. ---

In 1967 a base coupe was $2466 which inflation places at $16010 today. Using that logic the new Camaro in 6 and 8 cyl is only about 30% more expensive than it ought to be. Of course the new one will have lots of Chinese parts unlike the original so you need to pay more for them. ---

The only way I would buy this car is if it was in fact, a transformer, it looks like overpriced gm same old same old. Might be a good buy in a few years. ---
