For those of you on the West Coast....

---might I suggest you stop by the Los Angeles Show?

We just unveiled a second Camaro Concept this morning at that show........it's red, it's a 'fiberglass' ...meaning that it isn't a running vehicle........but we know the importance of that market........

Stop by and tell us what you think!

Maybe I can go, I'll be in Fullerton on Friday. Too bad it's engine less, I would love to hear it rev.

Scott, when are we going to be able to buy this? :D :cool: :eek:

Thanks Scott!!!! :bow: I'll be sure to make it to the show this coming weekend.

Guess Ill have to go back, cause I went this past Friday on day one. The dyno exhibit, and new '07 Tahoe were cool. $8 for admission (with discount), $10 for parking, 1.5 hours travel time, and priceless to see in person!

Just tell us what exhaust setup was on that Camaro.. it sounded awesome :D

Whaaaaaa???? :eek: :D



I'm not off until Friday damnit! I think I'd want to take the Z28... The parking garage at the LA Convention Center needs to hear an open header LT1. ;) :lol:

DAMN! I may have to drive to LA this weekend just to see it for real.
Thanks Scott!
:cool:

It is a true dual with crossover and mufflers after the rearend . FINALLY , the Camaro is gonna be plumbed for a real exhaust from the start:)

.....now back to Cali:D

Wow I wasn't planning on going to the LA Show since the Camaro wasn't going to be there but I think I may go now! Are you going to be in town Scott?

Is it going to be at the Washington DC show later this month as well? I'd like ot go check it out too!

I'll be there tonight.

Think this had anything to do with our exchange on the importance of an LA unveiling, and also relaying this opinion to BL many months ago? :think:

I'd like to think my input here (http://web.camaross.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3499609&postcount=14) had something to do with this too, but since I don't really have much weight to throw around here, it's unlikely.

Anyway, I'm excited and disappointed at the same time. I just went to the show yesterday (sunday), it would have been nice to see it then. Especially since I started a thread here (http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?t=414670) specifically for this purpose and raised a question about this push car here (http://web.camaross.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3519110&postcount=27) and basically got a unanimous NO to my probing. There was a ridiculous amount of floor traffic there too. It would have been perfect to have the car there this weekend.

The new trucks got nothing but praise from everyone even those that typically sneer at domestics. I'm not into trucks or SUVs and I wanted one. Those trucks are NICE! Only thing I noticed form sitting in all three versions is that there isn't much more of an upscale feel to either GMC or Caddy compared to the Chevy. But this is more of a complement to Chevy than a knock against Caddy. :thumb:

Where is the Autoshow at? what address? and also, from now(I assume) til when will it be there? I have go the distance to see that bad boy!!!

It's at the Los Angeles Convention Center just off the Harbor Freeway.

Thx for the 411:thumb: :metal:

I went to the LA autoshow yesterday, since everyone here told me here that 'NO' Camaro concept was headed towards LA (not even a roller).

:cry: :cry:

Thanks guionM for the following 'enlightened' post that convinced me to go to the LA show on Sunday and not wait;) :


If it were in LA, I'd have no reason to go to Detroit!

No, it's a Detroit only gig. I tried to make the case. An e-mail I sent making the case for an LA unveiling made the rounds with a few of the big guns there after I asked the fellow running the shows.

A big gun thanked me and cc'd it to others, I guess to think about. Meanwhile, the guy running the show explained very clearly why it wasn't likely to happen.

Seems the place where Camaro would likely sell the most, and the state where all new car trends start is still sidlined as a place to show new Hybrids and Eco-friendly stuff.

It looks like I will be going to the LA autoshow again this weekend. The suffering and hardship a Camaro fan must endure........

Absolutely! I'll be there saturday morning. :thumb:

Went there today! im putting the pics on my computer atm. Talked to Steve Kim (head designer of exterior) about it, got him to sign a poster of it. I told him it was awesome, and thanked him for the short front overhangs. haha

Whaaaaaa???? :eek: :D

Too bad I just put a muffler on mine this afternoon, or we could have given them 2! Im leaving friday after work for my 300 mile drive.

Damn that would have been awesome. :D

Good luck on your trip. :cool: Look out for those CHiPs on your journey.

I'm heading down on Sunday with some of the Vegas guys, I can't wait.
:D

no.........if there is a second car available, of course it would be sent to Los Angeles.....the problem was getting it done in time.

Scott, please tell me you'll be driving one of these cars next to my 95 at Bowling Green this year. :D

When I go to the LA show 'again' this weekend is there anyone in particular I should ask for to let them know my opinion on the Camaro??

I love 99% of the car (the pointy front bumper needs to be softened slightly) and I just want the right person to hear it.

Glad it was done in time then. :)

Detroit was plenty of glitter and press (in other words, a complete utter madhouse), but I think Los Angeles and it's strong car culture would be far more intrested in new Camaro's and Mustangs than eco-friendly electrics and hybrids.

It's been said quite often that GM doesn't understand the California market. We have a very vocal group of treehuggers here, but that's a small minority.
California is the largest market for imports and performance cars in the US. GTO is doing extremely well here, Mustangs are all over the place, and even when Camaros were still around, I saw more new ones (though they were almost always SSs) here than anyplace else.

..... gosh... I'm sounding like I'm still trying to get the car here. :D

If it's another concept I want pics!!!! :metal:
