Let's get something going, I remember last time we talked about this we had hundreds of people saying they were interested in going, and that was before we really had... more than speculation. ;) I'd really love to see a 100+ group all navigating to the concept section all at once!

Scott, any way you could pull strings and get us in pre-public viewing? ;) :bow:


Edit: Can we maybe get a sticky for this? The previous one months ago is lost under piles of posts.

I would LOVE to go, but it's a pretty damn far drive for me. It would take about 7 hours or so! Plus, who knows how bad the winter will be by then!!

I'd love to go... If I didn't have to drive to the other side of the continent, through a Canadian winter... :cry:

I would love to go...Jackson, NJ is a long way from Michigan though, lol :( I'm not so sure my parents would be to keen on the idea of me driving 1/2 way across the country in the dead of winter in my Camaro and missing a week of school, but hey, you never know ;)

Right now, it's in the hands of "Communications" at GM....aarrrgggggghhhhhh..... :cry:

But "something" will happen, but it will be limited in scope and be by invitation...to those GM 'wants' to invite......to a "pre-preview" that is...obviously anyone can come during public days. :cool:

Hopefully the plans will emerge from the abyss soon.... :death:

Or how about the "I don't really know anything inside, but I've been here a long time!" club? I think Darth and myself are the presidents.

I have every intention of going to the show. I'd really like to meet some of the folks from this site, just need a solid date so that I can put in for leave.

I am pretty sure there was a pre-viewing for vette enthusiasts only for the C6. It'd be cool to do the same thing for the Camaro, no media, no cameras, just people seeing a car. It would also be create a bit of stir to hear car guys talking about something the reporters haven't been able to see.

Anything that will be on display at the show the press will have seen 3-4 months earlier. They see it early because they have delays in getting it into print.

Going to be in Perth, Western Australia about that time.

Sorry, when the choice boils down to Detroit in the mist of winter and Australia in the mist of summer, there's a limit to how far my 5th gen enthusiasm goes. ;)

I will be at the LA show on press and preview nights if anyone is in the area.

That's the only thing keeping me away... I can't get anyone to travel from California to Detroit with me in the dead of winter. :D

IMO if the invite would be for only a special chosen few to go to a pre-preview, then it'd be better to not bother. This idea started out as a way for the 5th Gen regulars to get together, meet each other, shoot the sh|t, and then go check out the car. If most of the gang is excluded then that's kinda lame. As much as we all want to see the car, does it really matter if everyone waits a day or two and does it together?

Understood...but that doesn't mean that a get together during the regular show still can't happen...just need to pick a day and let everyone know. :cool:

Be nice if those lucky few can do both. Hopefully the dates wont be too far apart.

I like this idea. Simple, anyone can come, and nobody is going to get "left out".

Remember, alot of the pictures and info you'll see is directly from GM. The press won't get 1st contact till just before the things are prepped & shipped off to the show, likely around mid to late November.
