No concept car? I think we have to see that before anything happens.

Huh?? Your saying the new "camaro" will one day just show up at your local dealer for sale? I hightly doubt that, and in fact I would bet against it.

If and when Chevy decides a new "camaro" is official it will be introduced at an auto show first.

I've been thinking of that for a while... In fact I think a concept would be a bad idea. We don't want fall out for differences between concept and production like on the new mustang, at this stage in the game GM should just shoot from the hip.

Some nice unpromising advertising would be good too.. Too bad Camaro doesen't have a definitive symbol like firebird... Something like the chevy family lined up at the dealership... and there is a space noticeably empty, a la knights of the round table, and it just cuts to an engine revving and a blurred car coming down the highway, then cuts to black and fades over the chevy bowtie...

Moot point.

People would be split on the final production car too. Some will like the styling and some won't---same with any other car. I would never buy it if I didn't like the styling and the fact is it won't appeal to everyone one.

A concpet car would get people excited and beleiveing in GM again.

Re: its official. camaro in 06-07

I like the no concept car idea. Obviously itll be shown at the Auto Show before you can buy one, but it will be the production version of what its going ot look like, not a concept and then have another 2 years of designing. Also, that idea for a commercial sounds AWESOME! Especially because theyve been doing those Cobalt and Corvette comercials, with the whole big brother little brother thing. The Camaro could be the middle brother!!!

MEAN PEOPLE SUCK. I am not saying this to all of you, there are tons of awsome people on this board. Lots of friends on here.

And the good ol camaro IS going to be PRODUCED in late 06-early 07. NOT 08-09. And it IS going to be retro JUST LIKE the freakin 05 mustang.

Re: its official. camaro in 06-07

I would think that a NAIAS viewing would work very well if it was followed by the actual release of the car late that summer/early fall.

One does not have to be "mean" in order be skeptical. Color me skeptical of your information. Very, very skeptical.
