looks great, but this isn't exactly gonna take away from the Camry's sales figures.

The V6 starts at $22995, has 300 hp and gets 27 mpg highway.
The V8 starts at $30995, has 433 hp and gets 23 mpg highway. I think the SS will be 3800 pounds.

Between this and the new Z, I am taking this. Nobody seems to be making cars any lighter, so I would get the one with more power. And that 23 estimated mpg, with the AFM, and the notoriously tall GM 6th gear, real world highway mileage should be higher.

This car looks wonderful, exterior and interior. And a 300hp v6 with 27mpg is very nice too. This should be very competitive in the segment.

The Camaro is a handsome car IMHO. But, it has always been and will always be a niche car. GM needs a few more Malibu's and a Civic clone and a lightweight crossover to generate the cash to keep the doors open. Those are the cars that sell in volume and allow cars like the Camaro to exist.

it looks to thick if that makes any sense.. i mean like verticle thickness of the grill not how wide the wheel base is.

As far as the 370z goes i like it way more than i like this ..

Actually the Camaro is a volume car, in Australia. There it is sold as the Commodore on the same chassis, here as the G8, and now as a two door version in the Camaro. For GM as a whole it is a medium level production car, in North America it is only intended as a niche car. It will serve, however, to get people into the showroom to look at other cars...................maybe.

I'd buy the V8 version just to spit hideous 370Zs out my tailpipe

I saw one on the road today, and it was pretty ugly.

The pictures look great. The price seems right, but making a dent in GM's woes...fuggit about-it.
