I see the Camaro press release mentioned "excellent fuel economy".

I have to make a decision this month which of the 3 offers I'm going to take. I forwarded my high offer to the others, so we will see what happens. |

I still have 4 cats, but the hellion is now in the custody of my ex wife. That leaves me with 4 of the fuzzballs (which is 3 more than I have time to deal with these days). I'm not cat free, just less one problem child.

I'm not worried about GM. If they can't adapt, then it's time for them to die. But I suspect that they will adapt and find success again.
If the US Government helps GM out, I will be pissed if there isn't a ~3200 pound, 350+ horsepower Z28 by 2010. If my tax dollars help that company out, then they should be providing me with products that I want. |

I'm not surprised that they are in this situation right now. I just rode in a Trailblazer the other day and I was looking around and it just sucked! The interior was plain ugly with crappy designed dash and huge panel gaps and to finish it off, crappy materials ... and this was an important market segment where it's up against the Ford Explorer (which I have) and although I would like to own a GM, I would not waste my money on that hunka shit!
Don't even get me started about the crappy ass Chevy Cavalier that ruined GM's reputation and sealed it off ... I own a Focus 'cos that's built better and arguably, looks better. Ofcourse, I wouldn't own anything else but a GM muscle car (I hope I can stick to that, what say you GM?) ... had a '94 Camaro (did the LS1 conversion) and recently upgraded to a '98 T/A This post has been edited by Mean Green Z28: Jul 18 2008, 03:34 AM |

IIRC the Z should come back in 2011. |
