Jim the angry Lib, and Joeb the poor SOB. Relax guys. If no one wanted a muscle car, then the Mustang GT wouldn' be selling so well as Tim pointed out. As annoyed as I am with GM, I know they can return to greatness. This is their darkest hour, and I expect some serious overhauling. It happened with just about every major manufacturer out there at some point. The camaro is a start. Now to seal the deal, Wagoner has to leave to bring in someone with a "fresh" set of ideas. I wouldn't be surprised if Lutz takes over. He seems to have the energy to get things rolling. Unfortunately, I don't see an end to the Unions any time soon. So they best be churning out some more concepts of the Camaro caliber. Wow, some angry comments here. Jim the angry Lib, and Joeb the poor SOB. Relax guys.

Seriously, I see almost as many mustangs as SUVs everyday. They need to however offer a nice V6 base model and of course the LS2 in the Z28. They will have to price it to compete with the stang or it will not go well. They talked about cylinder deactivation on the LS2 for mpg. I think they can pull it off. I know I will trade in my 04 GTO when the z28 comes out. The need something to battle the stang. Seriously, I see almost as many mustangs as SUVs everyday.

Are you kidding? Maybe a small fraction of affluent, aging baby boomers might want one but any other demographic will not. A new muscle car that I can't afford the gas for and is a torture chamber for anyone in the back seat is just what I DON'T NEED or want. Come on GM get your head out of your history and do something NEW for once in your corporate lives. What a bunch of dinosaurs that deserve to die... Camaro? Are you kidding?
