What is this discussion about?
Car Buying
With parts coming from everywhere, does "Buying American" have much meaning anymore? Is quality and price the bottom line?

IMHO, Hyundai will threaten ToyHon someday. I would still go for the Camaro after the new GM is sorted out but need to shop it against Hyundai's coupe. The CTS is still a possibility as I am waiting for the coupe which I think is the best design Caddy has put into production. Soon the 3-series Caddy will be out so we can see if they can produce a world-class sports sedan in that category.

".....Trim a couple-three inches off the width, and half a foot off the length, and I would consider buying one."
The length I can see, but the width may compromise handling

Totally agree with the A pillars. Why the heck do they have to make them so wide? Same with the HHR. I saw one (Camaro) on the interstate the other day (yellow with a black hood) and it was very nice.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend everybody.

Structural stiffness. The Camaro is a fat pig so the hefty pillars keep the body from folding over itself like a wet noodle. But give it a few years and it'll still creak and groan like Camaros of yore. Wonder if there will be crash testing of this new retro beastie?
