Sounds good! At least GM is now publically talking about a new Camaro. Let's keep our fingers crossed.


I wonder what brought this on? Duh!

I should point out that the price of those cars was NOT moderate by any strech of the imagination when they went out. Fully outfitted models went for almost $40,000 and when you factor in the insurance (they had twice the accident claims cost as the average Mustang) that "young person" could easily pay for a higher-end American, European or Japanese car (non-sports). The idea of using a Cadillac platform or any components means they're making the same STUPID mistake they made with the GTO; A car whose cost was only exceeded by it's boredom factor.

You mean those guys with a bald spot, big paunch and lots of gold chains? Betcha like that don't ya? C'mon bitch, admit it...

The only question for a new Camaro is why? It's a POS, no one wanted it then, what makes GM think anyone will want it now?

PS: Anyone seen GM's stock lately. They are now firmly placed as #3 in Detroit. GM has reported that they will lose one billion dollars in the next six months. Hey hurc, were you dumb enough to invest in that POS?

I thought GM dumped the Zeta platform. We even read it in here somewhere.

Sorry to answer my own post, but I knew I read that the Zeta platform was dead:

BTW, Michael, I have to ask you a couple questions about engineering. My son's a high school soph interested in getting into that field. I'll send you an e-mail later on.

At my advanced stage of life I don't remember too much, but I did remember the Zeta thing. Maybe because it made me think of Catherine Zeta-Jones... ;)

I'll stay with AT&T (now Cingular) because I get a company discount. But I'll watch the T-Mobile commercials any time... ;)
