I’d expect nothing less from a $75k Camaro with no A/C.
That amazing looking Alfa is $6k less and the M4 is only $10k more. :lol:

I thought you were joking but then I looked up the prices. Who buys a $75k Camaro?

Lots of people?
Thr current ZL1 is 60kish and they’re everywhere
I’m never really all that trustworthy of these magazine reviews. They’re full of biased reviews. Good on GM though for getting some accolades.
I really like that Alfa. The Camaro is awesome too but give it a few years to depreciate.
Does this include every make/model available or… just ones advertised in Motor Trend?

Just to hump the alfa even more- lets talk about a car company that refuses to put power steering in a car in 2014. I love it.

I was less surprised with the Camaro being first than a number of the other cars on the list.
Like the fiesta.
I’m surprised it got so much love.

@bige has a regular fiesta and I love driving it… I can only imagine what the st has to be like.
the fiesta honestly reminds me of a mk2 gti, as far as power and road feel goes. Just a lot less rattley and with nice creature comforts (Bluetooth, cruise and such)

putting that Maro over an M4 is storytime.

Maro z28 and an M4 in my garage at my office and the only reason I could see buying the z28 is limited production and residual values. The M4 looks great.
Granted I have only driven a new 335 and Maro SS so I don’t think I have tasted either companies best but the Maro was a dog.

I’d take the Fiesta ST over the Camaro all day.

Why?
I realize people not liking F-bodies but that that is pretty lame

The new Camaro isn’t an fbody. But yeah I think I would at least need a focus st… But then the fwd burnouts and understeer would make me feel gay so I’d have to get a brz and still feel gay.
I can only assume this guy is a troll?
