2008 Camaro Pricing, Your thoughts.
Ive been recently re-working my financial plans for the next 2 years, since the Camaro is almost a 100% thing at this point.
To the question, what do you think the Pricing will be? Not First year ( i wont even bother ) but on 2nd year cars, when all the options will basically be available.
The Lack of T-Top's might deter me actually :-/ but im sure ill get over it as soon as i can touch the car at a local dealer.
So whats your predictions? If its not priced in Mustang territory, i dont even think it will be considerable for myself, i hope the pricing sticks to its roots.
Heres My HOPEFUL prediction: These are base's.
Base (V6): 19,500
Camaro SS (V8): 24,600
Camaro Z28 (V8): 29,700
anyone care to chime in?

I have nothing to base this on but just a feeling.I think anything with a V-8 will be in the low to mid 30's.The 1st ones out I bet will go in the 40's!! I think I'll keep my '02

I'm going to take a guess that the top Camaro will be around this price maybe 1 or 2k higher. So if you're wanting to stay under 30k your best bet is to look at the midlevel Camaro. Besides if the LS2 is truly the Midlevel V8, having that for under 30k will be a hell of a buy. Not very many cars can boast affordable 400hp V8 power. But that's just my 2 cents.
Just my .02

I dont think potential buyers are looking for a $40,000 pony car, i hope GM realizes that.
For $40,000 ill get myself another Vette'.

Z/28 will be reborn as it was initally intended to be, a Road cutting railed beast.
Mark my words, your new entry level camaro (V8) is a SS.
They may bring back RS and even the legendary RS/SS model
They are shooting to tug on retro heart strings, they could have a massive hit, if they just pay attention...

There were plenty of higher end sales of the previous gen too though. An SS with all options from dealer and SLP wasnt cheap!

Those werent the sales making the bulk of the intire sales count though.
Remember, its the 18-26 crowd who will be shooting for these cars (after year one and the 60 year olds nestalgia period ends), GM MUST keep the camaros price realistic.
Only people i ever see rocking the fully loaded SS's are 45+, well nowa days i see about anyone doing it because they are almost 5 years old, but initally it was all the older crowd sporting them, and will be the same way this time around.
Im going for a stripper Z/28, as long as its under 31,000.
