Real deal 2009 Camaro GM fleet mule

I wonder where Hylton is these days.... He seems to have the inside scoop on the new Camaro. Perhaps He could jump in here and explain what GM did or did not??? .

The new challenger is 100 times more appealing.

I'm starting to think, not everyone likes the new Camaro. I think the Camaro looks great!. I'm gonna get one for my wife. She had Camaro's in the past, and love's the look of the new one too. I guess I'm the minority, but I bet you will see a bunch of them on the road in the near future. The 6 cyl did the quarter in 14/3. Not a whole lot slower than many supercars, and gets 30 mpg too.

My son and I went to a local dealer today to take a real hard look at the Camaro vs getting another Z06. We both agreed that the Camaro was nice for the money, but it just doesn't compare. I think the Camaro will do well in it's price range. I like the front and sides, but the rear end sucks and the hard plastic door panels and dash is just plain cheap looking/feeling. I had hoped to buy one too, but it's just not gonna happen.

I really WANTED to like it, i have even made posts that i liked it, but the more I look at it the less I like it, and agree that the Challenger just flat out kicks this cars ass on so many levels that it could convert a die hard Chevy man to be a Dodge boy.

And the Mustang kicks the Challengers ass all day long...BKH

I ain't buyin' any of em, so they're ALL kicking my ass.

I had a 2 SS on order and just canceled it over the multiple cosmetic switcheroo's that GM pulled after the initial ordering period had started and my order was placed. Sad that GM is now a company that cannot deliver on the option/ cosmetic content they committed to.

The ass is ugly on the production car because they cut the concept widebody from the final production design but tried to fake the widebody look on the ass end.

I gotta agree with that. I like the Challengers looks but the size turns me off. Of the three retro cars on the road now the Mustang is head and shoulders above the others.

I love what is in the works for the Nickey Camaro, but I truly wish GM had given them more to work with. The GM design team left a LOT on the table.

What do you want me to add? No car will appeal to everyone but I predict that this car will be a hit for GM. It will grow on many. How many other 30k cars out there do 13 flat in the quarter?
