Replying to: mparis1 (May 06, 2009 10:48 am) Sorry you had an issue with your GTO, but the Camaro is one car that shouldn't be warned against as a first-year car. If you know anything about the mechanics of this vehicle you know that most of the major components on this car are ones that are already being used in other cars (i.e. the engine is from the CTS) and have been for many years. There is also no issue with any fixes on GM vehicles as far as dealerships/service go. The government mandates that all warranties/services/etc are taken care of regardless of dealerships closing.

My wife and I have been discusing the purchase of the Camaro ever since we saw it last fall at the Texas State Fair and had decided we would purchase one at some point. We went and checked one out at a dealer and while driving off we both looked at each other and said "that's not going to work". The visibility especially from the front windshield made me feel like I was looking through a narrow slot. The side windows I might could have handled. I actually did feel a little claustrophobic. I did not drive it and might give Chevy another shot a me, but I was disappointed at first look because I think they got everything else right. Don |

Replying to: iwant12 (May 25, 2009 2:15 pm) Anyway, about the trunk. The opening is a bit smaller than the opening of most cars, but the trunk space inside is rather roomy. Additionally, the backseat folds flat to allow for great cargo room. While the opening may look small at first (relatively), it really isn't as much of a hinderance as you would expect. For our street teams we have large A-signs we take out to display near the vehicle and it is pretty much the exact size of the bottom of the trunk. We fit it in through the trunk opening and carry it with the backseat upright, no problem. Also, to address visibility in the last post.. it's a sports car, not an SUV. The visibility is not any less than what you would find in a comparible vehicle. My mom drives a Cobalt and I found the visibility to be less than that of my Cavalier (RIP), but it was because of the sportier design and it was something that I quickly became accustomed to. Side and rearview mirrors are in our vehicles so that we don't have to dangerously turn our heads while driving anyway. I really urge you to test drive the car and I think you'll find that it truly is a great car and pretty much everything you would want and expect in a sports car.  If you're in the SoCal area, let me know if you want to come out and see the car in person (sorry, no test drives!) and learn about it from a product specialist (no sales/dealers) a weekend we're out and I'd be happy to show you around the car.. I think you'll like what you find.

I finally got my first up-close look at the new Camaro, and I have to say that I'm more than a little bit disappointed. Granted, it has all the advertised horses, so it's not lacking in performance; but performance alone isn't enough to get me to take on a rather substantial new car payment. I was hoping they'd make some improvements from concept car to finished product; but unfortunately, that hope was dashed for me today. In addition to a very uninspired interior and lack of visibility from inside the car, the outside appearance just isn't that appealing to me. I was really hoping that they'd do what Ford did with the Mustang, i.e. take the best parts of the late 1960's models, do a little bit of tweaking to update it for the new millenium, and create a classic looking vehicle. Instead, Chevy chose to completely squash the headlight area in the front end, not to mention the really weird looking tail -- although I understand they have after-market fixes for that end of the car. I seem to be the only one complaining, though, so maybe it's just me. I'm guessing the intention was to make it look "mean" from the front; but to me, it just looks like an elephant took a moment to sit on the very front of the hood. I'm sorry, but even though I've been a GM guy for most of my driving life, it looks like I'm going to have to look elsewhere for my next mid-range sports car. |

Hi everyone, I am in the market for a new camaro but unfortunately as everyone knows this car is in short supply in dealerships due to its high demand. I have only seen them from the outside but have yet to sit or drive one. I don't feel comfortable pre-ordering a car that I have never driven or sat in. It's like buying a house before stepping foot in one and inspecting it thoroughly. I'm on a quest to test drive one before I place a pre-order with a dealership. My big question is: Does anyone know if there can be any haggling on the price for a pre-ordered vehicle? The sales guy was drilling me with the fact that pre-orders can only be placed at MSRP only. Any truth to this?
