Highlander 10-15-2008, 10:38 AM The Camaro is a no go for me, I just cut a deal for a brand new 08 corvett for 38K. I would love to see where you got this.... flowmotion 10-15-2008, 10:45 AM Agreed that the Camaro is a blue collar car, and so it should have carried blue collar pricing. GM should be willing to forgo a large profit on this car in order to get the sales they want. This car's price should have been determined by real wages of these blue collar workers and the current state of the economy rather than where the last Camaro ended up, or where the competition is priced at, or what equipment a buyer gets at a particular price point. I just don't think that's possible - A younger blue collar worker probably has trouble buying a Cobolt much less anything fancier. Even the UAW has agreed to lower two-tier wages. Just the way things are going. However there is a market for things like $35K pickup trucks, so there are people with money and more "blue collar" tastes. I think GM also wants to make the Camaro an aspirational car for baby boomers and even "Gen Y" and others who might not have been traditional Camaro buyers. I will agree that pricing it above the Mustang is a risky strategy. But so far the marketing and hype for the Camaro has been off the charts so they might be able to pull it off. Plague 10-15-2008, 11:25 AM No it isn't. You can't look at the "mid-range" Challenger V8 and compare it to the SS. I submit that in fact, the SS is priced over 6k cheaper than the comparable Challenger. I see your point that the SS is more car than a Challenger R/T. I was trying to point out that a Base V8 Challenger is right on par with pricing as a base V8 Camaro. But, you do get much more content (and HP) with the V8 Camaro. Highlander 10-15-2008, 11:46 AM and a lil less weight FastMatt98 10-15-2008, 04:49 PM Yeah I'm prolly gonna look for a nice used Z06. Prices are ok I'm not doing cartwheels over them. Funny I have the dealer and slp window stickers and they add up 300 dollar under 40 thousand dollars. I got it used so I don't know if the guy paid sticker but I can tell ya I wouldn't of even thou I love the car.

I think GM also wants to make the Camaro an aspirational car for baby boomers and even "Gen Y" and others who might not have been traditional Camaro buyers. And that's why we're in the shape that we're in. These blue collar workers had no business buying those $35K trucks. Just because people with "blue collar tastes" exist, what does that have to do with people who are truly blue collar? bossco 10-15-2008, 09:08 PM And that's why we're in the shape that we're in. These blue collar workers had no business buying those $35K trucks. 35k is about the going rate for your average middle of the road transportation. What a sad comment about blue collar incomes in the US. rasputin 10-16-2008, 12:41 AM According to the Census Bureau household incomes in 2003 were $45,324 and in 2007 $50,233 resulting in a overall increase of 10.3%. The change in prices of a base V8 Camaro from 2002 at $22,800 and the new base V8 Camaro at $30,992 is an increase of 35.92%. This is quite a difference in price relative to average household purchasing power. Real income does not match the price of a certain asset. An economist would shake his head at you, because your metrics are wrong. Gas prices increased at a rate of over 300% from 2002 to 2008 and you are not comparing your income to that right? Catch my drift? Bottom line is the camaro follows the avg 3-4% trend of inflation (meaning price is the same) that we in the US were so lucky to experience. flowmotion 10-16-2008, 01:05 AM And that's why we're in the shape that we're in. These blue collar workers had no business buying those $35K trucks. Just because people with "blue collar tastes" exist, what does that have to do with people who are truly blue collar? True, and there's no easy answer to that question. It's a real problem -- we've got a car designed for the 2007 economy coming out right in a huge downturn. The entire car market is going to take a whack, and it might be especially bad for "image" cars like the Camaro. However, I would still make the distinction between those who couldn't have afforded it to begin with versus those who can't afford it because of the credit market, job losses, loss in home value, and so on. GTOJack 10-16-2008, 08:38 AM Someone needs to find out the average price of a new car in 2002 and compare it to now. That will convey how far the new Camaro has moved away from the average. Average sticker price of a new car in 2002 is $21,249 in current dollars. Average sticker price of a new car in 2006 is $22,651 in current dollars. HuJass 10-16-2008, 11:39 AM True, and there's no easy answer to that question. It's a real problem -- we've got a car designed for the 2007 economy coming out right in a huge downturn.

However, I would still make the distinction between those who couldn't have afforded it to begin with versus those who can't afford it because of the credit market, job losses, loss in home value, and so on. Those are good points. But I think the problem is that a lot of people thought they could afford the car when GM was saying things like, "where the Mustang is, the Camaro will be" in terms of pricing. They thought the car was going to be at a particular price point, whatever that was. Now that GM has released the pricing (and it's higher than originally thought), these people are seeing that they can't afford the car. And not because of the reasons you list above, but simply because they just don't make enough money. trm0002 10-16-2008, 11:49 AM Those are good points.

What was said was it would be priced competitively to it's competition and would be a premium over the Mustang due to content. When all is said and done, it fell in roughly 3500 more than the Mustang (top dog to top dog) and almost 6000 LESS than the comparable Challenger (again top dog to top dog). This is where I expected it to be (not where I hoped it would be) because I didn't ignore the Challenger end of the equation like most did. MetalDragon 10-16-2008, 11:50 AM ..... these people are seeing that they can't afford the car. And not because of the reasons you list above, but simply because they just don't make enough money. I agree with you, but I would also have to contend that $4000 over sixty months is about $65/mo. more (plus interest...probably around $75 or so). If $75/mo. puts it out of reach it was out of reach to begin with. People don't leave any cushion in case something happens and that's part of why we're in the boat we're in. Ponykillr 10-16-2008, 12:46 PM Real income does not match the price of a certain asset. An economist would shake his head at you, because your metrics are wrong. Gas prices increased at a rate of over 300% from 2002 to 2008 and you are not comparing your income to that right? Catch my drift? Bottom line is the camaro follows the avg 3-4% trend of inflation (meaning price is the same) that we in the US were so lucky to experience. I compare my income to gas prices every time I fill up. I think the majority of Americans and businesses would agree that the extreme rise in oil prices directly are out of proportion to their real income. If the Camaro's price is along the lines of what it should be due to inflation, why does a Mustang cost less? Why can I go out and buy a full size car for under $20k? Another example to drive the point home for you so you can catch my drift. Hyundai, a company that actually is doing rather well in the automotive department, illustrates my point. A 2002 Hyundai Sonata Base MSRP was $15,499. In 2008 the Sonata Base MSRP was $17,545. This is an increase in price of 13.2% very close to the average rise in actual American incomes. Further: 2002 Honda Civic MSRP $12,810 2008 Honda Civic MSRP $14,810 = Increase in price of 15.6% None of these best selling cars have gone up 35% in price. Catch my drift? Ponykillr 10-16-2008, 01:01 PM It is not crazy to criticize the large price increase, especially when the increase is greater than the average. Apples to apples, the Camaro V6 MSRP went from $18,415 to $22,995 from 2002 to now. Thus equaling a base price increase of 24%. The Mustang Base model on the other hand went from $17,475 to $19,650 during the same years, resulting in an increase of 12.4%.

The Mustang Base model on the other hand went from $17,475 to $19,650 during the same years, resulting in an increase of 12.4%. The problem is that you are saying apples to apples. How can you say a 2002 V6 Camaro is comparable to a 2010 V6 Camaro. How are they the same aside from the name, number of seats, number of wheels, and number of cylinders? I just don't think you can make an apples to apples comparison of a 200HP car to a 300HP car. IPrice 10-16-2008, 02:04 PM Its really ashamed that a large percentage of people find more ways and reasons NOT to buy a new '10 instead of ways TO purchase one. It's not rocket science, GM announced this what, two, three years ago that they were gonna bring it back. Hell, I've been saving PENNIES in a damn jar since then and I've managed to put away a little bit more than I expected. I'm totally expecting to pay MSRP and I really don't care. If I get MSRP I'll be happy to be honest with you. When I went to buy a new '97 SS at Bay Chevrolet in VaBeach, they had "regional market increase" all over their invoices that raised the price almost $5000. And we all paid it. It's amazing how we all bicker and bitch about our Camaro and when GM gives it to us, we cry about what it costs. I'd just rather see a bunch of posts saying "Thanks GM" and people go on their way buying (or not buying) the Camaro of their Two Year Dream. By the way, Chris and Jason, what are you ordering up and what kind of "back door buddy deal" are you guys seein!? LMAO!!! Happy ordering Men, Ivan CamaroBoy96Z28 10-16-2008, 02:18 PM I'm at $36,395 for a 2SS/RS. Only $1400 more than I had planned on. Not TOO bad at all.

How are they the same aside from the name, number of seats, number of wheels, and number of cylinders? I just don't think you can make an apples to apples comparison of a 200HP car to a 300HP car. It is not a comparison between a 2002 and a 2008. It is a comparison between the price rise of a base Mustang and base Camaro from 2002 till now. As you can see they started out at approximately the same price. However the Camaro has increased price at a higher rate than its competitor. It has also out paced all cars in overall price increase.

As you can see they started out at approximately the same price. However the Camaro has increased price at a higher rate than its competitor. It has also out paced all cars in overall price increase. Of course the Camaro increased at a higher rate. It has 100HP more then it did in 2002. Why would it increase at the same rate? Did the V6 mustang increase in horsepower 50% from 2002 to 2009? Nope. It's still a very simalar car to what it was in '02. Conversely, the V6 '10 Camaro is not all that similar to it's '02 counterpart. Ponykillr 10-16-2008, 03:09 PM Nevermind. You will never get it. Dest98 10-16-2008, 03:40 PM An '02 Camaro rode on a twenty-year old chassis with an econo-car quality interior and a lot of supporting hardware that was noticably inadequate to the task of handling the power of the Corvette drivetrain they shoe-horned in. Comparing the price increases of Car-A vs. Car-B without factoring in improvements in content & quality is meaningless. The 2010 model looks to have made far greater strides in these areas than the other cars it's being compared to. IPrice 10-16-2008, 03:42 PM Just rolling in from my local Chevy House. First off, I cannot believe that Chevy would let "salesmen" man the floor that can't tell me the differences between the lt/ls/1ss/2ss.....The first guy I talked to said there "are like three ss models.." This is supposedly GM's White Knight..I'm shocked the guys aren't armed to the gills with info, chompin at the bit to inform customers!!! I busted out my Vehicle Price Schedule (THANKS!!!) and he about ****. I had to learn him that there were only two SS lines. I think I killed his day. He got the sales manager who was a little better off. Here's the skinny on what this particular Dealership is doing. They have 12 Allocations. Three ordered already. He says the SS cars will have a $4900 Market "bump" because of it's "limited availability" and that the deposits he's taken were both $5000. He did say that the deposit really depends on the situation and what the customer is planning on financing and etc... Understandable. I called the other 3 dealerships here in Albuquerque. Dealership Allocation Sell at MSRP ?? Deposit Req'd x 11 Doesn't know yet $2000 y 7 $5000 over depends z 10 $4900 $1000 Seems like all of them are kinda following suit of the others with the $5000 bump. Is anyone else seeing the $5000?? More?? Less?? If I have to pay it I reckon I will but if there are dealerships not doing it, I don't mind saving $5000 and getting a free road trip out of it. Heck, more of a reason to buy it else where to be honest. I could use a week off from work!! I'll be checkin out others across the state and reporting....

There are many dealers around that are putting MSRP in writing. For $5000 you could fly here to Buffalo to put your deposit down at MSRP, and fly back to pick the car up in March and still be ahead a few thousand dollars... EDIT-> Go to Classic Chevy in Texas- it's closer and they're selling at MSRP. IPrice 10-16-2008, 03:59 PM DO NOT PAY ABOVE MSRP. There are many dealers around that are putting MSRP in writing.

It's no camaro, but in my proce range, I'm going to have to go with no Camaro anyway. 30thZ286speed 10-20-2008, 02:24 PM Quote:Car and Driver Relative to the Mustang and Challenger, the Camaro offers more ponies for less money. With its "estimated" 300-horsepower V-6, the Camaro LS comes in at $76.65 per pony. The more powerful SS model with the 422-horsepower V-8 is a relative bargain at $73.45 per horsepower. A Ford Mustang equipped with the base 210-horsepower six-cylinder engine starts at $19,995 which works out to be $95.21 per horsepower. Stepping up to the Mustang GT’s 300-horsepower V-8 requires $26,775, or $89.25 per horsepower. The base Dodge Challenger SE with 250 horsepower starts at $21,995 ($87.98 per horse), the mid-level 375-horsepower R/T begins at $30,990 ($82.64 per pony), and the top-dog SRT8 version with 425 horsepower begins at $40,095 which works out to $94.34 per horsepower. Interesting way to look at it from Car & Driver's point of view. fredl11 10-20-2008, 03:29 PM B34? What version does not come with carpet in the front???

I need some advice. with the RS package I get - 20 inch 5 spoke wheel in Midnight silver paint finish or optional polished finish Which wheels would you guys say looks better with the ice silver? midnight silver paint finish, or the optional polished finish? also, sunroof? Think a sunroof will make the exterior look bad? not sure if I want stripes, but what color would be good with the silver? should I go with the cyber gray metallic option, or see if the dealer will get me black stripes? or maybe I shouldn't get them at all? any advice is welcome! that includes advice with other options you think I should add! 8Banger 10-23-2008, 09:42 PM ok guys, ive decided im getting a 2LT in Silver with the RS package.

I personally think the Midnight silver will look amazing on the Ice Silver finish. Sunroofs are not for me personally. They take away from the pure essence of the muscle car in my opinion, but again that's just me. :) jspeak32 10-24-2008, 12:30 AM I personally think the Midnight silver will look amazing on the Ice Silver finish.

I like the idea of having a sunroof, but I don't want it to detract from the exterior look of the car. anyone know when they'll have more shots of camaro's available to look at? (ie with sunroof, wheel options, stripes, etc.) I need visuals to work on here :) delbuort 10-25-2008, 06:37 PM Bout what I expected I guess. Wish it was more competitive with the Mustang though. JasonD 10-25-2008, 08:17 PM I'll bet a lot of Mustang owners wish their cars were more competitive with the Camaro, too. :D delbuort 10-26-2008, 04:18 AM That's true. A little lower price for the V8 would be nice though. I figured it would be priced right around the same as the Challenger. It's not horrible, it'll just be harder to talk the wife into it now. I see a lot of cooking in my future. GTOJack 10-26-2008, 10:26 AM That extra weight doesn't come cheap. Have you looked at steel prices lately? hairbear21 10-26-2008, 09:42 PM Not only that, but copper, aluminum and magnesium as well! they've dropped recently, but they are still up there!

Does that mean the LT's won't even have that as an option, or perhaps we can pay extra to have that interior added (as we can the orange)? trm0002 10-29-2008, 11:00 AM So did I hear the recent podcast right, that the SS V8's are the only ones that will come with the blue accent interior?

If you get the inferno orange interior accent package, the lighting will be orange.

Does that mean the LT's won't even have that as an option, or perhaps we can pay extra to have that interior added (as we can the orange)? There is no blue accent interior. The only thing that is blue is the lighting (if you got the leather seats), not the seats and not the door panels. jspeak32 10-29-2008, 02:53 PM There is no blue accent interior. The only thing that is blue is the lighting (if you got the leather seats), not the seats and not the door panels. thats what I meant I guess. I thought I heard that only SS V8's would have the blue lighting. Just wanted to clarify and find out if the LT's would also have the blue lighting. Anyone know? Does the blue lighting only turn on when you open the door, or is there a switch to turn them on? do they turn on when you put the key in ignition and turn the key? I noticed in all the videos of people in the car with the door open, I have yet to see the blue lighting except in still images, and I wonder if those images are real or photoshopped. trm0002 10-29-2008, 03:06 PM thats what I meant I guess.

Once again: 2LT yes 2SS yes As far as when it's actually on or off or "how", I don't know. YET. GTODan 10-29-2008, 04:19 PM thats what I meant I guess.

No. There's many conversations about it and many differing opinions but among the inconsistencies, the truth and bottom line is that it couldn't be done to where it was affordable or without making the car heavier. jr1997z28 11-04-2008, 03:10 PM did any1 put on the shorty headers and the other parts.would they make a different for hp or just buy aftermarket parts. 2010_5thgen 11-04-2008, 03:20 PM did any1 put on the shorty headers and the other parts.would they make a different for hp or just buy aftermarket parts.sure they would make a difference in hp. they are moving air quicker. i added the shifter to mine. i was going to get the headers and intake but i want long tube headers and a supercharger. jr1997z28 11-04-2008, 05:32 PM ok didnt know.do u know anything about the after market exhaust and cam yet.those should add a decent amount of hp rite? trm0002 11-04-2008, 05:39 PM ok didnt know.do u know anything about the after market exhaust and cam yet.those should add a decent amount of hp rite? Cam swap, intake, exhaust, and tune could give you 70-90HP relatively easily in conjunction with each other. speedemon1117 11-21-2008, 07:04 PM IM sold! Price is great JakeRobb 11-22-2008, 12:21 PM Cam swap, intake, exhaust, and tune could give you 70-90HP relatively easily in conjunction with each other. I suspect that the cam offered by GMPP for the Camaro won't be quite that aggressive, but you should be able to accomplish that with any of several other cams that are already on the market for Corvette. bigredz97 11-23-2008, 11:16 PM hm.. brand new camaro... or slightly used corvette? decisions decisions... RobErnst 02-18-2009, 06:49 PM The real question is when will the hype die down enough to buy under sticker and use my GM card dollars? If I could buy for $500 to $1000 under MSRP and use my $2000 GM card dollars this car would be a great performance steal! Not sure if you can use your GM Card dollars yet but I'd take your order at $500 below MSRP. :yes: King Moose SS 02-18-2009, 11:23 PM $470 for 20" rims.... You can't get a deal like that anywhere JakeRobb 02-19-2009, 09:07 AM $470 for 20" rims.... You can't get a deal like that anywhere It's not what you think. $470 gets you polished 20" wheels. Don't pay the 470, and you get painted 20" wheels. King Moose SS 02-19-2009, 11:34 PM It's not what you think. $470 gets you polished 20" wheels. Don't pay the 470, and you get painted 20" wheels. Oh, I'm glad I didn't go to the dealership as ignorant as that previous statement was. still.... $470 isnt bad, I wonder how they look in real life the polished. I can't base it off pictures, because I picked my trailblazer color from the pictures. Boy was that a mistake 97z28/m6 02-23-2009, 11:29 AM too bad you can't get an LS with the RS package. mike25 02-23-2009, 09:18 PM well im new to this board and the idea of getting a camaro but...i plan to buy either a late 2010 model or a 2011 model in 2LT with the RS package. im going to try and put between 10 and 15k down and use my gm supplier discount to get the payments in the 2-300 range. ive checked different sites and with that down payment and no greater than a 7% interest rate it should be very attainable. i still live at home, but im currently in college and driving a cobalt ss and i wont be out for a few years so im going to enjoy it while i can. im pretty excited for the release...seeing one in person will confirm wether or not i want to get one. OpieTaylor 03-30-2009, 03:52 PM Has anyone heard anything about the Dale Jr. model Camaro? I'm really interested in it, and was wondering if anyone has heard the release of that and maybe the pricing. Or hell, they may not even be releasing it on production. I would just like to know. 2010_5thgen 03-30-2009, 04:07 PM Has anyone heard anything about the Dale Jr. model Camaro? I'm really interested in it, and was wondering if anyone has heard the release of that and maybe the pricing. Or hell, they may not even be releasing it on production. I would just like to know. that car was a concept. but everything on it is available for you to build your own model. the ground effects, spoiler, grill, wheels, exhaust, shifter, engine cover. everything is available through gmperformance parts. | ||
