x2. I'm pretty sure the dealer didn't give your minion a discount to advertise their dealership on the rear of the car for all eternity. Crack the whip, insist that he covers up the dealership advertising, with advertising for your business!

I am not sure what the chunky look thing is all about with the new pony cars, Challenger, Camaro etc. They all have this thick heavy look especially from the bottom window sills to the rockers. They look like lego/Transformer things. If they were to do a re-issue sort of 69 Camaro, it should have at least been as slim as the original 69. These things look like they need to go on a diet or something to me. It is too bad to me because I have always been a Camaro fan most of my life having owned a 67 SS, 69 Z28, 71 SS, 73 Z28 back in the day, and may very well have picked one of these up if they did it for me for a Florida car DD. I do however wish them success with it, though the timing seems a little off on it's release.

I like the new Camero.

I was in one last week and it had things I wish the Vette had. Like bluetooth.

Yeah, it is and one interesting tidbit is they do not put that on the Vettes they sell.

Some guy I know bought a vette and the dealership placed a sticker right abouve the Corvette imprint on the rear that said "Jerry's"....so everyone at the Gas Station says 'Hey Jerry, nice Corvette'. It didn't take a week before that sticker was gone.

For the sake of GM's bottom line, I hope so! In the history of the camaro, I believe it outsold the mustang for ONE model year.

GM NEEDS an everyman sports/muscle car flooding the streets....That's been the mustang's gig for 45 years and it's made Ford countless dollars.

Just for kicks, tell your 'minion' that you have to cut back and he/she has to be laid off. Watch the hilarity ensue.

Now, now. Don't fall into using that same tired statment that 90% of us on the forum have heard. If it isn't the boss saying, "I must be paying you too much." It's the co-workers saying, "They must be paying you too much." That was the number one reason I hardly drove my Corvettes to the workplace.

This Camaro reminds me of the old 70's vintage Monty Carlo.
IMO the new Challenger or whatever looks much better.

You aren't paying him too much. He had to settle for a V6.

I saw 5 Challengers(another Pony Car) this past weekend! There's a Camaro on the cover of a car magazine with a V6(305HP) doing a smoky burnout... The young guys will gobble those up.
