Well, looks like they can resume taking orders. Camaro’s a go for 2008.

Let me guess, it’s going to have a massive V8, with lots of torque, will only go fast in a straight line and won’t corner or stop to save your life. At the same time they will offer a V6 version for those who can’t afford the V8 price, or the $5.00 at the pump price of gas when the car finally comes out (if ever). Of course the car will be so damn heavy that the V6 will be slow, and will loose drag (and handling) races against VW Beetles.

Way to go GM! Another Winner!

Jon.

If some sucker wants to give me a thousand bucks as a deposit on an imaginary car, I’ll gladly oblige them.

GM would do well to consider a direct-to-consumer channel, and soon.

either they do it, or some third party is going to force them to, a la amazon or someone with a lot of weight behind them.

dealers are the bane of the american auto buying experience.
