Motor Trend sucks get another magazine.

That announcement was made on March 26th this year and Motortrend is just now getting it in print. There has been a lot that has transpired since and misunderstandings as well.

I beleive we will see a new RWD V8 at the 2006 NAIAS. Check the other Camaro thread in the section for more.

Keep in mind that Scott has never said the Camaro IS coming but he is pretty clear that if you have been looking for the Camaro that You (meaning any one) should see the 2006 NAIAS in January.

IMO it is coming and sooner than some think...

On a somewhat related note, StreetFire is now 50% the reach of MotorTrend.com and AutoBlog.com has already blown them out of the water

The trailblazer SS is one of the few SS vehicles they're putting out that deserves the SS badge. It's got an LS2 in it, and handles amazingly (there was a video clip posted of one doing donuts with a C6 a while back). Stick to complaining about the Monte/Impala/Silverado SS's if you want, but this one IMO is as worthy it can be for not being a sportscar.

I would venture to guess the Mustang got some GM execs scrambling to get something out. Isn't it amazing how the supposedly "dead" retro ponycar platform is reviving so well? That's what they get for listening to metrosexual, SUV driving idiots who predict what automotive trends will be the most profitable. They might just want to listen to the buying public every now and then. Just a thought.

AGREED!!!! Bad JuJu my thoughts exactly. GM should go onto websites like this one and check out what we think about possibly products. We could have saved them from many fiascos.
