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.

You know if the automakers were smart, they would build cars that look like this new Camero and put a hybird or turbo diesel in it so it could get at least 50 MPG, which would be better than destroying Alaska's environment, which we will probably do anyway once the price of gas gets even higher.

Ummm, the Volt appears to me to look very much like the Camaro. If ya like the New Camaro, you'll like the Volt. This will be GM's second plug-in car. The first one would have worked, but they could not find a long enough cord.

The old camaro didn't go anywhere, it transformed into the new one. Remember the girl said it was a heap of junk or something similar to that, so it dumped them out then scanned the specs on the muscle car going by and transformed into a newly muscled camaro. I have to agree that it's a shame it's not coming out until 2009.....I drive a Dodge Quad-Cab....but seeing that Camaro was like candy in the window.

Ah, the old Camaro, as in the first rendition of a GM Pony, what a beauty. The car is possibly the most perfect example from GM of all time. A 1969 would be a wonderful car to own. OK, a few others like Vettes and Malibu SS.

1969 Camaro

I know this story will sound made-up, but when I read the line about the '69 Camaro above I felt I should share.
Growing up I used to hear the story about some folks a few miles up the road from where I lived who'd had a son who was killed in Vietnam. Supposedly his parents had bought him a '69 Camaro that he drove briefly before he went off to war, and then he never made it home. But the parents kept the car in their garage, covered with a tarp. And indeed if you drove by and the garage was open, you could see a car up in the front of the garage covered up (it was an extra-deep garage, so the covered car fit in front of another car, so you couldn't make out much detail, but you could see it in there). Supposedly the interior still smelled new, as it had been driven very little.
I graduated from high school in 1984, so somewhere around that time I was still in school, and was out mowing the yard one Saturday morning. Something caught my eye out on the highway, and I looked up to see a pristine '69 Camaro, white w/orange stripes, cruising VERY slowly down the highway (at maybe 40 MPH), towards the gas station about a mile south of our house. My initial thought was that it had to be that car, and that someone had bought it and was driving it to the nearest gas station to fill it up with fresh gasoline. And sure enough, a week or two later I drove by the house and noticed the garage was open, and the shrouded car was gone. I can't swear that the two cars were one and the same, but honestly this car looked showroom new, and it was being driven quite carefully, so I can't imagine it being any other car.
None of us growing up could ever get up the nerve to go ask to look at the car (because of the background story we figured they'd never sell), but somebody got an incredible car as a result.

Even if I was talking about fuel issues, I was referring to Camaro which is a Muscle car in relation with fuel issues. At the end, I meant to say "Want Camaro Forever...Drill Alaska"

Hey I just love to see these pony cars coming out and looking so retro. To me the new camaro looks great..sssoooo much better than the f-bodies! The current Mustang looks great..hey..sales speak for themselves..and the new Challenger looks like a mopar man's dreams. As far as prices, you chevy fans may not have to worry too much. Word on the street is that by 2010..mustang will be sporting a new series of V8s..a 5.0 Ltr...and a 6.2 ltr (thats right..bigger than the hemmi and chevy engine) producing over 430 hp. The 5.0 should be between 350-400hp. Will that rumor come true? C&D magazine..along with others..seem to think so (google "Boss" modular engine and you will see) If thats the case the mustang will likely move up in price. Only thing you really have to worry about is if the Tang comes with the new engines..and remains 2K less than the camaro..in which dejavu will set in. But I don't hate on american brands..I hope there is enough room for the big 3..I'd much rather have a challenger, stang, or camaro than any overseas crap..happy light hunting in this new musclecar era..it should be very..very fun!
