I am president of the GM cheerleading society at my school. The Malibu is the most awesomest car ever....especially in beige
"
so fewer people from this msgboard are posting on the blog now?

You're being far too kind. It probably means Cavalier!

I'll go out on a limb and say no one here will be driving a 5th gen in 2007. Please, prove me wrong, bring your 2x4 if you think it will help.

Re: I think Bob wants to say the "C" word.....

You know what's depressing? I drove by a Chrysler dealership and I got excited. 300C, Charger, Magnum, Viper. All out front, all enough to get anyone's heart racing.

I drove by a Chevy dealership and what's out front? Silverados and Trailblazers. Yawn.

As we've been saying -- GM is always playing catch-up. Meanwhile Chrysler's got all the 'gotta-have' cars, and Ford ain't doing to bad with the 'Stang. Now I can't stand the new Mustang, but man I would love a Magnum, and those Chargers are friggin' tough looking.

No matter what Bob says or when he says it, it's too little too late. The Solstice is not going to be enough to generate the buzz the General needs.

Sheesh. Its like everyone here is expecting Bob, Red Planet or someone else from GM to come on out and say, "sssh, we're building a new Camaro for 2008... but don't tell anyone."

Wake up people. There have been enough hints; its like smacking yourself in the head with a 2x4.

It's kind of pointless to keep your hand secret after everyone else has shown theirs. There's no secret to be kept. Say you're making one or not.

I know I won't be... because I'll be waiting an additional 12-18 months for the Z06 inspired Z28.

This will put it into perspective. I started waiting for a new Camaro in my Junior year in High School. By the time any new supposed Camaro debuts, I will have my Master's degree in College.

Yeah.

In GM's defense, if they said "yeah we've got this great new Camaro hitting the streets in 2007", that would give Ford ample time to fix any complaints on the new Mustang, or improve it; Or if DCX is still on the fence regarding a performance coupe, it could light a fire under them...

Well, don't just flat-out deny it and **** all of your loyal enthusiasts off and drive them away. You gotta give people some hope.

And since when is competition bad?

maybe this is a good thing? GM could start a study on how to light a fire under their own ****.

Re: I think Bob wants to say the "C" word.....

My hopes for a 5th gen are long gone... In the next few years, It looks like a Charger or a Magnum are my RWD vehicles of choice...
