ALLOW. Interesting choice of word, case, and bold.

What does GM allow Camaro critics to say what they say about the Camaro? Why does GM allow you to ask these questions? Answer those to questions and you can answer your question 1.

guionM,

I love to hear what you have to say about any possibility of the G8 Coupe making it to the US.

I suspect that any prospect of that depends on whether or not the Coupe 60 concept is production-ized or not, since it no longer looks like G8 production will be moving to Oshawa any time soon. (or is that a Zeta follow on to the VE G8 we now get?)

I don't recall hearing any word of the fate of the Coupe 60 beyond Holden wanting to produce it (but GM said it was just a concept, nothing more IIRC) since the economic meltdown happened, so maybe it's dead like the rest of the Zeta stable of could've beens - excepting Camaro, of course.

According to that, it doesn't take effect until Sep 1 of this year.
Hmm, then you wouldn't think we'd be seeing these cars for sale now would you since they's still be illegal? Go figure.

Autoblog could be wrong. Or they moved up the date after the article. Or the government doesn't see a point to going after people for something that will be legal later this year????
