Based on what I see on the road, Ford is selling a bunch of 2010 Mustangs (all flavors) and Dodge is selling a bunch of Challenger R/Ts. As the 2005 Mustang proved, there’s a huge pent up demand for these cars. Lump in the Hyundai Genesis Coupe and it’s obvious that the Pony Car is back!

My dealer has gotten two that I have seen on the lot and both sold within days.

have not even seen a camaro on the road yet… but the other two are everywhere already.

Happy to see some good news for GM!

Oh no, now we have to hear NMOFGM and 1115’s insight on this…

I like the Camaro, but I wouldn’t buy one due to it just being too impractical. Now the attractive and more practical G8 Coupe… Well, that would have been mine.

i have never seen a ‘10 mustang nor camaro on the road yet, but i geuss its just the area.

Saw an SS pulling out of a Chevy dealership yesterday (presumably a test drive) on my way back home from a meeting. I didn’t bother slowing my 350Z down to let is catch up!! haha. Seriously, it is a very good looking car…a little large looking for my taste (so is the Challenger which is a freakin behemoth of a car)…but I wish GM the best of luck selling these Camaros. It’s good to have something nice to look on the roads instead of all those mundane sedans/economy cars.

Wow, rear wheel drive + good looks is seiing? Who would have guessed?

im with you jake, the g8 coupe would have been incredible. ironic how pontiac wasnt included in the new pony wars and the rebirth of the firebird canned……more genius from “gm” planners. i pray gm will sell the division to a company that gives a crap about its success. and by the way, the camaro will fizzle after a year and the first month sales figure will be the norm if not lower. gm higher ups are crazy if they think this car will sell 6 figures yearly…

Agree, nice to see some good news. I’m not surprised that it’s about a model with some personality and cojones, instead of some of the meaningless homeopathic soup the old GM is so well know for. Maybe the new GM can learn from this.

Gm could have sold so many more of these if the offered a pontiac firebird/trans am version of this car.
But good to hear that some of their models are popular anyways.

They should not have cancled the model in the first place and spent to money on updates…

Okay, 25000 orders should not bee too tough to fill for a decent-sized plant. This car looks hot.

HAHAHA! All other cars on the planet PAIL in comperson to this GM and all GMs. Foreign junk and Fords are all garbabge and will all be victims of the NEW GM and the American revoltution. Now it you excuse me I need to fill out forms and see if I can get promoted to a G5 status and distribute condoms for a living.

Buy American! Buy GM! It is your duty!

S2L2SC, you win the prize. Pretty much the whole reason they kept GMC is because the Sierra and Siverado COMBINED sell even more than the F150 and yet by sticking the knife into Pontiac they probably just cost themselves big time.

mayer_ray, you do that pretty well. Is there something you’re not sharing with the rest of the group?

Okay okay okay Johnny …. I admit it. I am straight.

someone that lives near me has a black ss, ive seen them out driving every friday night and pretty much entire day on sunday, rain or shine the last 4 weeks… im waiting to see one take down a stang on the highway

Good going NMOFGM, buy a Camaro, a car based off the Australia Holden Commodore.

Buy Australian! Buy German! Buy the Camaro and support your neighbors to the North, Canada! Because GM can’t build anything themselves domestically otherwise!

“Gm could have sold so many more of these if the offered a pontiac firebird/trans am version of this car.”

It’s called the G8. Funny how so many people haven’t caught on to how GM works nowadays.

I’m a Ford guy, but I’d definitely fall for either a GTO or Firebird/TransAm version of the new Camaro. Too bad they’re killing Pontiac…

OK now all those who would also have preferred a ‘Cuda instead of a Challenger raise your hands.

^ hand raised

as jake knows, one of my co-workers bought one of the first in the area (they dealer wouldn’t let her take possession until after the car was actually used in a parade here in st. louis)…the 500 buck mark-up comment is funny, as one dealer here wanted her to pay 4k over msrp (she went to another dealer and got her car w/o a markup)…i’ve seen it in person and got a brief ride and it’s pretty tight…hers has the RS package, so the extra instrument cluster was in there and i think that looks good…huge wheels, omg…and the car draws a crowd…

someday she’ll let me drive it around the block, but i was going to wait until it got its first ding, so the pressure would be off a bit…unluckily for her, somebody already corner-swiped it in a parking lot…sometimes it just doesn’t seem worth it to spend a lot of cash on a car, considering how inconsiderate most drivers are…they’ll ding your ride up and peel away asap w/o even a note…

Theres been a red V6 with the RS package (and a god damn automatic) sitting on the lot by my house for a solid 2 months.

I am glad they are selling. I too am a Ford guy, but others in this segment will insure better Mustangs as we move forward.

What’s that saying…”Too little, too late”

I live just West of Toronto (Oshawa is just East) and have not seen a single Camaro on the street. However I’ve seen a few 2010 ’stangs and a few Genesis Coupe around.

GM have to be very careful about increasing the supply to fulfill the demand. If they try to rush the bad quality made CAMARO into the market, they will screw up the big time.

I saw a black one the other day. It was nice, but it looked too “toyish” to me. Still, this is good news. And even better, the “people in charge” are seeing what the public really wants.

The new Camaro is super nice. I have sat in one and its executed properly. Much like it was when it first debuted in “69. I see a black SS everyday when I pick my sister up from work everyday and I see the red one occasionally.

GM, isn’t it AMAZING when you build something that people actually want to buy it???? What a concept hein?!

Man I’m glad to hear that! I just hope they can keep the quality up to meet the demand. Can’t wait to see who will be the top sports car in sales for 2010. I think it will still be the Mustang.

Just saw transformers, and for some strange reason I would like to get one too!

@ sprockkets – The G8 got canceled. As in they are no longer building it – along with the rest of the Pontiac line. Plus the G8 is a four door, not a 2 door…

That said, I would love to buy a new G8 GXP, but won’t be able to afford one for at least another 2 years (when my student loans will be fully paid off) – and by then Pontiac will not be around any more.

Some days I just hate GM for their own stupidity.

“The Camaro is also featured in this summer’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, which can only help sales.”

-Can it? CAN IT!!! Have you even seen the disaster that is this movie

Even Camaro couldn’t transform to the Bumble Bee. It’s still a legend.

NMOFGM

-Just because 1 car sells great doesn’t mean your beloved GM is saved. Last time I checked, they’re still flying like a brick. They’ve made 1 good car… .that was made by a foreign company. Funny how that works, isn’t it?

EGGcellent! And all you suckers were quick to point out “GM’s failing, GM is dead”. Where are you now, huh?

madcap said it best.

@SSD
Dude, you are crazy, that movie is awesome. Stop hating

Weird. There is a dealership I pass every day going to work that has a black SS out front. Been there for over a month. They had a red one but that went quick and now they have a yellow SS next to the black one.

Saw one parked at a restaurant on Friday, it was an SS in a nice blue color. Looked great. I have seen two others on the road locally in silver. Aside from the teenie tiny windows, it looks great.

Makes me wonder why they’re not selling them here in Australia through GM Holden. They would sell like hotcakes here, is management absolutely retarded?

Music Industry term(?) One-Hit-Wonder (?)

Big deal so is the new Toyota Prius. Ill give it to GM I mean they release a new car and its actally selling That is impressive for an over 100 year old company that is one of the old “Big 3″ Imagine an American car icon built in Canada on an Australian platform ….very impressive

Never understood the appeal for this car. It looks obese from every angle. And the scales confirm the visual heft, too.

Obese? This is one of the sharpest cars ever. It looks so much like some kind of concept car.

GT, Most likely they will be exported to Austrailia but will have to wait until plants catches up with demand. Hopefully by December winter comes around.

I Agree with Walter Payton n the fact i have already seen 2010 Mustangs hit the Street I have yet to see a Camaro. And the Challenger is out there and doing ok.
