In the next six months, GM will select the vehicles it plans to build as part of a new rear-wheel-drive lineup set for 2008 or 2009. Possible candidates include the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac GTO, Buick Velite, and Chevy Impala. “We have a big plan for rear-wheel drive,” says Gene Stefanyshyn, vehicle line executive for what GM now calls its “global RWD architecture.” GM is looking to fill the gap between its small RWD roadsters, from Saturn and Pontiac, and high-end luxury vehicles, from Cadillac. If produced, the Camaro would feature a standard V6 engine and one or two V8s, GM’s Bob Lutz says. It would be priced competitively with the Mustang.

If you don’t build and release the new Camaro within the next 12-14 months, you’ll miss a big marketing window. Gas is only getting more expensive.

It’s about time. Who cares about gas mileage. GM needs to put power back into RWD. I’m sick of SUV’s. If you want gas mileage, buy a Honda.

I wish they would bring it back and start the V6 at 16.5-17.5 because its a v6. Start the z28 at 21-22.5 and bring back a SS model at 30 but I want the SS to be at 400+hp and torque (wishful thinking)If they did this only extreme Stang loyalists will stick with that dying horse. Everyone would love the Camaro SS wih +400 Torque and HP at around 30k

the new Camaro in silver looks like one of those ultra-modern fridges with the side-by-side doors. The tin can look just didn’t cut it for me. Until I recently saw it in another color, I was just not impressed. In black it looks like a Batmobile– and in other colors it looks great. I just wish the grill was a little thicker. Other than that, they nailed the design really well (though I just can’t get over the tin can fridge thing).
I’ll bet it starts at over 20k– easily, unless they cut too many corners. If I had the money, I’d buy one. Cheers to GM’s RWD (possible) come back!
