So much for a New Camaro...

[GTStang]

The RWD Zeta platform which much speculation had been attached to the return of the Camaro has been cancelled by GM for all N. american markets.

i know i told some guys yesterday at the shop that i would worry about rebuilding my engine and hold off on getting that ls1 since in 2007 or 8 a new camaro was comming out thats only a few years away, i was gonna start saving for the damn thing but as usual i spoke too damn soon! we got the monkey and they didnt even lub us up first,smh.

Yea sorry guys.... I dunno what GM or Lutz is thinking.... especially to help speed up the SUV/Truck releases?!?!?!

Did GM not notice thet 30% drop of SUV/Truck sales in N. America over the last 6 months which with gas prices looking to be even more in the horizon dropping sales even more?!?!?


Also what about the GTO.... the only semi-cool car GM makes besides the Vette was going to be switched to the Zeta platform with a whole new design. What now for that car?

I hear ya man Ford at least after dropping the Lighting has come out with a new Sport-Trac truck that has the 4.6 S/C Cobra motor, 6-speed auto, and AWD!

That is just to tide us over until after the new Cobra comes out and they then have the time they need to do a New Lighting.

damn you mustang man, bearer of bad news

[philly rs]

im gonna have to get a mustang, either that or i go back to the wounderful world of inports...maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! thats just great! what the hell am i talking about, i owned a mustang, and a eclipse i aint going back, ill just dump all my money into what i have and get me a ls1 ss when i find one

[-Josh-]

That's funny cause when i was talking to the local GM rep he was under the impression that the new RWD platform was coming out in 06/07... And Lutz himself said that the GTO would be completely it's own car by 06, i wouldn't give up on GM just yet people.

hey KaotiKCamaro5, got any more pictures of that awesome camaro you got? that thing looks sweet!

[Chevyracincamaro]

the end justifies the means. article said new rear-wheel drive vehicles would be delayed by only a year, in reality maybe two or three. that puts us round 2010 (formula). anyways, GM is just doing what they think they need to do to compete with other manufacturers. ill sacrifice a new maro for the well being of all things general motors. plus, i heard that the SS concept was the underlaying of the new camaro (dont know if its true, but if you guys have seen the SS in person you would not be sad at it being cancelled). i have faith in lutz, he's got something up his sleeve...
