Unfortunately, a LOT of the same problems continue to plague the American car companies. Half of my family worked for GM on the assembly lines, and not ONE of them will own another one. I still bought a 92 Camaro because I still had faith at the time. That piece of expletive cost me so much money I got rid of it within 13 months.
I'm not saying that all American cars are junk, but the problem is consistancy, nothing more. The can roll 5 cars off the line in a row, and each one will have different lines on it, not matching the others.
The fit and finish up the Japanese cars (and some German) make GM/Ford/Dodge look really bad. Really bad.
Sorry.

One the finished product is not sitting in some garage while some guy laughs it up. It would be a mistake to release an unfinished sorry excuse for a camaro. They are trying to get it right...Thats why they make the big bucks. Is it far fetched to have a new camaro driving in a movie about transformers...really! Lastly Neither car disapered if you paid attention to the movie and not all the shiny things you would have figured out that they could scan whatever vehical they wanted and become said vehicle...Don't mean to be blunt, but I wasted my time reading your post thinking you had something to say,

Lets back it down a bit bigdrill. I never said either car disappeared. I just wanted to know what happened to the car on two wheels, and someone was driving the new camaro when Bumble Bee took over. I don't think the car is just sitting in a garage somewhere. This car has been in development for several years and they're risking the retro fad beeing over. Ford didn't wait 5+ yrs for a retro mustang, '04 regular '05 retro. Where were you chevy? Your coming from behind. Instead of forcing the SS(we don't need a camaro)R on us you should've had the next camaro ready.

My fear is by the time these RWD Camaros and Impalas hit the showrooms, gas prices will have climbed even higher, and no one will be interested in them...let's hope Chevy has a Volt-like vehicle ready about the same time; otherwise they'll be in a real bind. I guess they'll offer a V6 in these, so they might see more a shift that direction, but I have a feeling we're on the edge of another downsizing period, which seems counter to the direction GM is headed.

I'm sure they will have V6s & small V8s thru out the line. If they price them so people can afford them thats even better.

You know everytime they come out with a concept like this they are soo awsome, and everytime they go into production all the things that made the car stand out among the rest is gone. So what I want to know is how much is the style gonna change and the interior features, as well as the body lines that some say look a little rough I say look really sharp. As is they have me sold and I cant wait for them to cross the show room floor because as soon as it does they will see me there.

Only if the groups of environmentalists would back off and let us drill for oil in Alaska. Our gas price would be less than $1 per gallon. Look at Kuwait... $.78 cents a gallon.
Want Muscle Cars?...Drill Alaska!

Speculation at best... and posted in the wrong discussion. Let's keep focused on the Camaro in here. Plenty of other topics in which to talk about opinions on fuel & pricing.
