I really like the Camaro Concept, but for those of you who didn't. What will you buy now that you know what the Camaro will most likely look like in 2009 (if it gets officially approved)?

I didn't add the "Challenger" , because it hasnt been officially approved, but anyone can add it if they want.

Even those who will buy a 2009 Camaro, what car would be your 2nd choice?

an ls2/ls7 sky with upgraded suspension would be cool. But that will never happen.

That thing was NOT a coupe. It's a 4x4 SUV pretending to be one.

Hyundai got the engine and Rwd drivetrain setup right, but f'd the car up by giving it SUV like ground clearance.

Camaro will be my first choice, but mustang will be my second.

Re: For those who didn't like Camaro Concept- what will you buy now?

If for some strange reason if GM decides not to bring out the Camaro I would be partial to a Pontiac Solstice. I really dig how the Saturn Sky looks but there are some styling elements like the tail lights and etc that I would classify as being trendy right now ,therefore the Sky might look 'dated' quicker then the Solstice. I could honestly say I could very well be wrong about that , but I think the curves of the Solstice (the Sky to a lesser degree) are timeless and the car will still look great in 2010 when I buy my next car.

Already jumped ship to GTO. That should keep me happy till '09. Hopefully an Australian styled GTO will be available by then. Yes, I gave up on GMNA design.

At some point I will pick up another LS-1 4th-gen, SS, Firehawk, or WS-6.

Re: For those who didn't like Camaro Concept- what will you buy now?

Most likely a used Vette like a C5 2000+, maybe a ZO6 if the price is right. I have also thrown around the idea of buying a 96 Grand Sport, I love those. I have been wanting a Corvette forever and before I bought the Z, I had a really nice low milage black 92' Z51 6-speed that I test drove and was going to buy but was tripped up at the last second and it was gone. So since the Camaro concept has not really impressed me to the point of not buying something else, I will most likely get the Corvette................unless the production car changes my mind.

I would probably buy the nicest 'Vette I could afford if the production Camaro fails to impress me.

I'll be staying with my WS6 (unless GM builds a new Firebird, then I'll buy it)

I agree, those 1996 Grand Sports are really cool.

Another car to consider would be the 2005 c6. Come 08/09, the 05 c6's should be fairly affordable. Near c5 z06 like performance but in a more modern package.
