I hope we do get a Camaro.
I feel like someone ran over my dog and is trying to give me another one.
It won't be the same if it isn't the same dog. But hey, if it's the same breed, i guess it wouldn't be that bad.

Question.
Over 2 years ago, GM had a clinic for a performance coupe in the LA area (don't ask how I know) which a couple of people went to.
The car at that clinic scored "the highest of any vehicle at a GM clinic in history".
Has there been a new clinic recently, or is this simply a retelling of the same clinic of over 2 years ago?

My impressions are that, that is the clinic they're referring to.

I don't care anymore. GM is a horrible company to do business with on ANY level. I don't want On-Star, or black box recorders, I don't need 400 HP because the freeways only move at 10MPH and gas is through the roof.
The 05 Mustang is an absolute winner. It is great looking and is available today. Steve McQueen was never a "girly-man", so talking about sissy cars carries no water.
The new 300 is a rocket and has smooth elegance.
If you want a dragster, then go buy a 64 Nova and tub it out and drop in a 454.
Audi, BMW, Nissan, Toyota, Acura all make better cars, with fit and finish, reliability, and handling that embarrasses GM. My Camaro is a rattle-bucket, gas pig. Handles good...when the road is dry.
I can't play partisan games with those that 'diss other manufacturers. I have my opinions, but I respect other's choice.
If GM can read this, tell them that they ran out of time with me. I just don't care anymore.

Jason, I liked the columns you wrote, and I was following them and approving of the facts that you included, right up until this point where you mention a certain unnamed "clinic" with a resulting score higher than any in GM history. As of now, this is just unsubstantiated rumor, unless you can verify it with some substantiated reference. A test date, location, score, and an explanation of the scoring method would be very, very welcome. So would clinic vehicle design details (wishful thinking).
Until then, I must view "Bright Headlights" as nothing more than speculation.
p.s. I just finished reading the remaining posts on this thread, and Z284ever and Big_ALs_Z are right. I'd also like to know more about the clinic details.

Thats nice....Enjoy your new Mustang.
For some reason, I hope that a luxury car like Audi, BMW, and Acura as well and Toyota have better quality then any GM car from the 90's.
Now, if you would so kindly go down and look at a lot of the new GM cars, a lot of them have great fit and finish and well as great quality, so far anway.
Anyway, Im not gunna spend time trying to sway you. So, enjoy your Mustang. I hope its everything you want it to be. That goes for anyone else that doesnt have the time, and has money burning a hole in there pocket to buy a new car.
