Poll: 40th Anniversary promotions?
In lieu of any real info, (as usual) I can tell we desperately need something to debate to keep us busy for another 12-24 months. My question is this...
Should GM be using the Camaro's 40th anniversary as a way to draw more attention the the 5th gen? Would this help the marketing effort and gear up potential buyers, or would it disappoint future buyers because they can't actually buy one yet? discuss....

I would love to see them doing something for the 40th. Some of the magazines are doing small tributes. I think Chevy should get involved and bring along the Camaro Legends tour with the Concepts or something.

Glad you asked! They are! The Camaro & Firebird Celebration in Bowling Green has been temporarily moved to the GM Tech Center Warren Michigan for the 40th Anniversary Celebration this August. It also piggyback's on the Chevy Tri-5 Anniversary as well, so this will be one heck of a good car show. It is also one week and a little over 10 miles away from the Woodward Dream Cruise. It is going to be awesome here in the Detroit area for a couple of weeks.
But anyway, we plan to really promote the 40th Camaro/Firebird Anniversary event, we were just talking about it in our current Podcasts (including the one that will be released this Friday). We expect it to be a pretty big deal, and of course, there is no way they would do an event like this without showcasing the 2009 Camaro.
We are planning a CamaroZ28.Com Summit for all who will be in the area for the show. We have some very cool plans for everyone, but since we are still a few months off, details need to be finalized. Much more info about our meeting and the event itself in the next couple of weeks.
A bit of info about the event can be found here:

Bottom line is, just plan to be here in the Detroit area August 9-11 this year. You won't want to miss it.

I find it fascinating that the poll results (as I post this) are almost 50/50 - especially since we know a new Camaro is coming!
I don't see any reason to ignore the anniversary of a car that has such a passionate following (past and present). Besides - wouldn't the anniversary party be the *perfect* place to show us enthusiasts the pre-production car????? (Yeah Scott, that was a hint
After going to the production announcement (and having a GREAT time), I can't recommend going to this year's celebration strongly enough! The heritage center alone is WELL worth the vacation day!

I think it is a good idea to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Camaro and it might be a good marketing tool for GM with the upcoming release of the 5th gen. But on a flipside, I also wonder if it would be effective on their part to do such a thing without an actual production car on the streets. Plus, I can't help but to feel it would be a little awkward for them to do a 40th Anniversary promotion on a well loved car that they pulled the plug on.
