Replying to: camarokrayz (Jun 06, 2009 11:16 pm) Where do you live? Do you happen to be in the SoCal area? If so, I work for a street team that promotes the Camaro -- basically we take the car out and let people check it out (sit in it, not drive it, sorry!) and tell them all about the vehicle with no sales pressure -- we're product specialists who work for a marketing company, not a dealership. We'll be out with the car again in 2 weekends and I'd be happy to let you know where we're going to be once I get our location list and you can come check out the car for yourself. As for haggling on price, I don't think you're going to be able to do that. There were thousands upon thousands of pre-orders on this car and some people waited 18 months to take delivery (some are STILL waiting!) and I would imagine you'd be hard-pressed to find a dealer to go under MSRP on a car that's selling that well and when people are trying to get their hands on them any way they can. I'd be willing to bet people would pay a few thousand more if they could take delivery now and bypass the wait. We don't really work with pricing other than to say what the car starts at and some points in between, that's really the job of the dealer, but I have seen on the Camaro5 forums that some dealers (at their discretion, and this IS negotiable) are adding a $5k "fair market value" to the car. Truthfully, I was at a dealership a couple weekends ago and was really surprised by how much less a fully loaded 2SS was compared to what I expected it to be. Best of luck to you!

Replying to: greeneyespsu (Jun 13, 2009 10:14 pm) Yes, I was aware of Chevy's intentions in creating the new Camaro; it's just too bad the execution wasn't quite there. I just found the perfect picture to illustrate what I mean; the link is below. Note the majestic lines of the '69 model, particularly the front grill; then compare that to the squashed looking grill area of the nose on the new model. All they needed to do was widen the height of the grill by a few inches, while getting rid of some of the unnecessary plastic below the grill, and they'd have really had something. Of course, as I stated previously, this is only my opinion (and that of at least one other person on this forum). Anyway, here's the link; judge for yourself..."

Make it look like the original, stop playing to the kids with monster wheels, loose some weight, a couple of feet in length, and a half foot in width, and give her some glass area, and I think it is a real winner. Alas, Government Motors doesn't care about what I think, and they may be right. If they can get people to pay over sticker for a car manufacturer by a company in bankruptcy, with a 100 year history of troubled first and second year new model cars, I say go for it. In Santa Maria i saw a side sticker of $7,500 for some lucky sucker to pay -- whoo-hoo, or yippee! The Ford Mustang is the truest to a Pony Car, with a little less fat and pretty clean lines, which make it look lower. The Camaro and Challenger look like they have an extra 6" of skirt now to them. Looks like the Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a real winner. Pretty good over the left shoulder views to pass, some actual glass area, and thus you do not feel like sitting in a bathtub. The lines are crisp, and almost new -- well a bit Infinity G37, but with a little more racy look. If I went Pony car, it would be Stang for 2010, and the Hyundai is also interesting.

Replying to: m1miata (Jun 16, 2009 8:53 pm) I have two good friends that live on my street, one owns a Challenger RT, one owns a Mustang GT. I've driven the Challenger, and I've ridden in the 'Stang. NEITHER of those cars can touch my Camaro. Mine looks better, runs better, sounds better, and you couldn't give me both of those cars for my Camaro. The guy that owns the Mustang actually stopped by my place to ask if he could take pictures of my car. Ever driven a Porsche? How about a Vette? 350Z? Ever wondered why there is little room inside? They're sports cars, they go fast. They aren't SUV's. I've never had an issue with visibility, nor has the weight of the car been an issue. Especially when I smoke an RT or a GT. I think aerodynamics could have played a part in the size of the windows. I mean, I could sit up alittle higher, have more glass to see through, so I can watch people drive-off and leave me in the dust. Might as well by a Volkswagon so you have more glass and less skirt. Oh yeah, the skirt kinda gives your car some downforce, helps with handling and blazin' around tight curves. To sum it up: DO NOT BUY A CAMARO if you want an SUV, station wagon, or you need extra glass to see through. The SS is a hot-rod with great gas mileage and it likes to go fast. PERIOD. |
