I'd like to think my input here 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 specifically for this purpose and raised a question about this push car here 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.

 

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

 

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).



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

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.

 

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

 

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.

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

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