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. |

If I may redigress to the "sedan vs. coupe" ordeal.
The coupe and sedan definitions have become somewhat misnomers over the years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedan (it may be wikipedia, but this article has much more validity than some others). I believe that the now defunct Trans-Am series, which was a defining series of the F-body, amongst the other competitors being Ford, Chrysler/Mopar, and the now defunct AMC was originally titled from its inception in 1966 by SCCA: Trans American Sedan Competition Also, what about the American Sedan series that is in SCCA as well? And as usual, us Commonwealthers usually referred to them as saloons. Okay, now back to your regularly scheduled discussion. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |
