The more expensive the Camaro, the less you make. The less you make, the higher the price you have to charge to make a profit. That's without even going into GM's issues at the time of overcapacity, the need for plant closings, and the misdirected views 10 years ago that doomed the Camaro.
Unfortunately it takes GM alot of time to fix things because it's simply so big. If we didn't have the people running GM that we do now, I think it's safe to say you'd either be looking at an Epsilon based Camaro or waiting till next decade at the earliest.
No one's pussyfooting, no one's denied the existance of a Camaro replacement (only a car under development called Camaro
), and as far as hiding something, remember, if anything is posted here it's posted everywhere for everyone. Not a great idea.
The "have faith" comment may be getting a bit old. Perhaps it could be changed to "You may want to have some cash around in a couple of years".

I knew I'd get a response with a post like that. I apologize though, I was in an extremely testy mood yesterday and I was taking it out on anything and everything I could.
I already have the money in the market right now for the car. It's just a matter of accumulating it a little.
And for AWD, It would be great only if it worked like the Syclone/Typhoon AWD worked to where you could just remove it if you wanted to.

Like I said, buy the RSX, and get your **** handed to you in the straights AND the twisties by a Cobalt SS. Just admit it's the batter car when (notice I didn't say if) it happens.

I guess I'll go test drive one someday, even though its a shevy.
I'll be happy with good road handling from that car.
