Don’t expect the Camaro to be any different.

When it rolls out at the 2008 or 9 NAIAS GM will say “We have a new Camaro”

However hang around here and you can learn a lot.

I imagine something big will be coming at this years NAIAS.

Pretty much all I can say is “Stay tuned”




Have you taken on my point of view on this? That's what I have been saying for quite awhile.



Sure, there will be something cool at NAIAS. There is ALWAYS something cool at NAIAS. No suprise there. There in fact, probably will be some radical RWD coupe from Chevy. Is it going to be even close to a production ready Camaro? Is it even going to be called Camaro?

I HIGHLY doubt that.

I never said there was going to be a production Camaro or anything of the sort at the up coming NAIAS, I dont know how you are misreading my post but I pretty much agree with you here.

Well... about they spyshots, they may not be done designing the exterior, but that doesnt mean they cant be working on the powertrain.

Camaro is coming, and everyone at GM knows that it needs to hit the market ASAP! because Mustang is just about mooning the other big two...

Funny - here's the letter I got.

Dear David,

I read with interest and great concern you're complaint letter regarding the lack of a Chevrolet Camaro. We - and I speak for all the GM board - had no idea that the absence of Camaro leaves people so disgruntled, given that all of our internal surveys conducted by our accountants show that 99.65% of Camaro owners would be satisfied owning either a Cobalt SS or Monte Carlo SS. Perhaps you're the 00.35%.
In any event, I'm pleased to tell you that your letter has stirred up quite a bit on action here in RenCen, and we do not intend to leave you dissatisfied. I showed you're letter to Rick immediately after reading it. In fact, he's talking to me right now about what HVAC and radio's we're going to offer on the RS and Z/28 trim levels. I find such things boring (I was a military pilot afterall) so I'm responding to you on my blackberry. In any event, rest assured David, we will have a new Camaro out by January of 2006.

Sincerely,

Bob Lutz

P.S. You won't tell anyone, right?



*Sigh* I can't lead you on like that. I actually got the same two letters you did.

You're probably just being nice because the administrators of both sites post here. Both are great forums, but neither one compares to this one when it comes to insiders giving juicy information along with 's.

And that document was referencing a Zeta Camaro, which we all now know isn't going to be the case.
