QUOTE The all-new Camaro will begin with early production versions at the end of 2008 and will go on sale in the first quarter of 2009. “The new Camaro will be almost identical to the concept, a thoroughly modern interpretation of the 1969 model, considered by many to be the best design of the car’s first generation,” said Ed Welburn, GM's global vice president of design, who owns a 1969 Camaro SS. The front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sport coupe will feature an independent rear suspension, and will be offered in a variety of models with the choice of manual and automatic transmissions and V-6 and V-8 engines. I hope it doesn't weigh 4K lbs and come with skinny tires. It sure is ugly as a dog though IMO. I don't think retro shows any creativity at all. I want a new looking car. |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) I can't believe this conversation has come down to the (apparently complex) definition of a word. I would expect this type of argument to be right next to a thread about what floormats have the best light up logos or which wiper blades smell best.
I'll say this about the car. It looks prety cool and with a bunch of work it can be a better performer than what we're driving now. Hopefully it will combine the best of what is available while being popular enough to put GM back on the map. It shouldn't be a porker for the simple reason that gas is too expensive... no matter where or how you drive. Like everyone here, I want GM to build me a reliable, comfy, fast, cheap, and easily repairable car. The vette does all of that except for the price. I don't really care about looks, but that front end doesn't look very aerodynamic. I would like to see it in a windtunnel. I think side airbags are going to be required in the next few years so they wont get dumped. Besides that, lets look up top here again. It says F-body... not the next incarnation of a name that once existed in order to the masses to go gaga over. |
