Thumbs up Popular Hot Rodding, "The Camaro Is Back For 2007"

Just got the new issue of Popular Hot Rodding in the mail today...On page 6 is an article by none other than former GM High Tech editor Johnny Hunkins.
In big red bold letters it says "Get your money ready: The Camaro is back for 2007" He mentions the Delphi bidding as proof positive of Camaro's return.
Just thought I would mention this, sure hope it's 07 and not 08!! Going back to lurk mode.....

Just got off the john. Grabbed my new PHR, and saw the same thing. He seemed like he was told that it was coming back. He didnt alude to who told him, or if he just visit sites like this. He did have that Bob Lutz comment in there saying that the bird was dead.

If it's Johnny Hunkins...he reads this board...just ask Guion...

I guess this is the first print release of the info, but otherwise we have known it here along time. I put an article up in September, and hell...even then I thought it was old news.

What Johnny wrote is actually based on just about the most solid info you can get. If he want's to tell anyone about it, he will, but I'll just say it didn't come from this board.

I also think some of you will also be intrested in reading the next edition of PHR as well.

Remember I said that.

I believe you told us that a few weeks ago. I'm very eager to find it (it's not on I usually read).

Any chance we can get a short 'trailer' of sorts about the article? (you know someone had to ask, it's like yelling 'freebird' at a concert)

I hate having no patience! It's good to know though... unlike Chrysler who just put up a lot of press for a couple new trucks... Cant wait... cant wait... cant wait...
