Arrow NEWS: Conan O'Brien Mocks Camaro Faithful [Muscle Car Wars]

The 2010 Chevy Camaro may have bested the Mustang in June sales, but GM is still an easy target for late night comics. Not that Conan O'Brien isn't biased in any way. Oh no, not Ford fan-boy Conan.

It's still a plug for the car. Late night TV isn't even going to speak about a specific vehicle unless is generating some buzz, in this case GM but still.

Conan stopped by the Detroit auto show and spent some time with GM stuff as well as others.

This link has some excerpts:
http://www.nbc.com/Late_Night_with_C...-12109/954821/

Samantha, one of our product presenters who often specializes in Camaro as well as the Volt, is a very sharp lady and held her own with the jokester. Samantha was at the Carlisle ride and drive. Maybe some here were lucky enough to have her as a passenger. She knows her stuff.
She's a good friend and I'm always glad to see her on my crew. Sam told me she thought Conan was exceptionally nice. That's good enough for me.

Conan is very tall, BTW, and his comment while exiting the Camaro should be music to the fans that might be concerned if they will fit.

The bit Conan orchestrated in the new Buick was pretty funny. Richard Duff is, in fact, one of the designers of the new Buick Lacrosse, but I have to shout out for his partner, Justin Thompson of Australia, who partnered with Richard on the car...

The bit about the Taurus is just Conan suggesting he is the anti-Leno when it comes to cars.
