Re: Re: 2008 Camaro!

[quote=ma51]I sometimes wish automakers would start looking to the future more than the past. But hey, if Chevy feels compelled to look back, this concept ain't a bad way to go -- looks pretty sweet. Not quite the presence of the Challenger concept, but both could change considerably before they're produced./QUOTE]
The automakers seem to be targeting the biggest market out there presently,the baby boomers. This group has a large population with lots of money to spend, It is hoped that giving them something familiar to them when they were growing up, will 'spark' an increase in auto sales. By bringing back memories of high school, or their "first car" and the good times and memories associated with it, the automakers seem to be playing the "nostalgia card" for the time being, even bringing back old nameplates of cars from the past, and putting them on vehicles that don't really reflect the heritage that the nameplate once had.

I saw the pix in the auto show coverage, looks great! It should also noted that GM currently has no plans whatsover to build it at this time, which would be par for the course for the dying giant. Why build something popular that may sell? Maybe when the new owners take over....

GM has revised plans for rwd cars. A new Camaro will likely use a revised version of Holden's Zeta chassis, perhaps debuting in 2009 or 2010.

Take this new Camaro concept survey

http://www.ls1lt1.com/survey/index.php?sid=2&newtest=Y

The following is from autoweek.com 1/13/2006

BEST IN SHOW: Chevrolet Camaro Concept

Only twice in AutoWeek’s long and illustrious tradition of awarding favorite auto show models with big, fat, shiny trophies has a car won by unanimous vote. The first? That would be the Porsche Boxster concept back in 1993, which puts this Chevrolet Camaro in pretty darn good company. We certainly aren’t alone in our admiration. At one point during the press preview, it looked as though the number of top-tier designers from competing automakers outnumbered members of the media swarming about the car. That had to have the bow-tie brass smiling. And if the 400-hp Corvette LS2 6.0-liter V8 found under the concept’s hood makes its way into a production rendition, we will be smiling right along with them. Of course we have to wait a few years to see if it really happens. Fingers crossed.

Re: 2008 Camaro!

Knight Rider drove a custom Pontiac Trans Am (Knight Industries Two Thousand–or KITT). I hope Pontiac makes a new Firebird.

Re: 2008 Camaro!

Awsome,

I don't see why we have to wait 2 more years though. Come on GM I beat brain cancer in less time than this. Give the GM Engineers some Tahitian Noni Juice spiked with cranberry that will help them.
