I cried when I learned that the Regal GS was losing it’s AWD in favor of an OPEN DIFF FWD drivetrain. ---

what they need to do, is stretch the grille down lower to the ground, and get rid of the chrome bar and emblem. it’ll make it look less chubby and rotund. ---

GM will most likely give it their new global treatment before it reaches our shores. ---

Soooooo don’t bring them back unless there what they were . Idiot This makes me an idiot does it? I’d assume you don’t like what GM did with the latest Camaro and the retro styling? If you do, why cant they produce a retro-modern Chevelle and make it look good and perform well? Or a Monte Carlo? Why couldn’t the Nova be resurrected with a turbo V6, 6 speed and RWD? as long as it wasn’t just a bland econobox that wouldnlt live up to it’s namesake i really donlt see the problem. ---

Once a car is gone it needs to stay gone unless it comes back way better than the first time . Look at the new camaro like ya said , I’m not a fan and its technically a reserected name and it was a flop . So yes once its gone keep it gone cause they can’t out do ol school with modern looks etc ---

Like it or not, the Camaro sells very well for this market. I wouldn’t call it a flop after looking at the sales figures in relation to the competition 😉 ---

True. Gotta admit I’m a sucker for big V8s and a manual gearbox. I would have bought a slightly used Camaro SS if I didn’t require roof rack capability, at least 14 cubic feet of trunk space and fold-down rear seats. Fortunately this Commodore import should be the perfect compromise! WOOOOOOHOO. ---

We’ve had probably 25-30 Camaros come through rail this week, 3 of them were SS, two of which were automatic.
