Default 2008 New Camaro!! What are your Pros and Cons??

A friend just sent me a video clip on the New 2008 Camaro and I have to say, at first when I saw it featured in Road~Track mag, I didn't care that much for it, but the Video clip was pretty cool and now I'm anxious to see one Live and up close. Anyone see or here any more on it? What are your thoughts about it so far compared to the Mustang and Challenger? Hmmm? The wife has been wanting a new car??? And there may be enough room in the garage for another one.

Hmmm?

New Camaro is going to be getting some serious competition from the 2008 500hp Dodge Challenger.

Has it been confirmed that its going to be 500hp? Also we dont really know for sure how much hp the Camaro will have. For all we know it could have the LS7 by the time it comes out.

The look has grown on me. I plan on getting one probably in 2010 for a DD. That is, as long as they aren't over $35k for a SS with atleast a LS2 under the hood. I just hope the redo the rear of the car, that's the only part I don't like.

And the SS better have at least the LS7 in it.

It looks alright. How much redeisgn can you possible do these days without looking like something else already made? Heck the one image looks a little like all those dodges. And even a hint of old school roadster/hot rod look.

SS looks pretty mean.
