New Camaro V8 costs $50,000??? Was looking around to price out a new camaro from a local dealership and was expecting them to you know, mark them up 5 grand or so, but nothing too surprising. I finally found a V8 Camaro for sale in dallas, and holy ****, it costs 49,999!!! 50k for a new Camaro??? Seriously?? That is an insane markup! Given the current situation with the U.S. automakers this makes me a little hot under the collar 
****, better start pricing out a newer Zo6 for that much damn money.

I'm not too familiar with the odometer on those yet, but yes, I believe that's what it is and the mileage in the odo is 282. 
I drive by that place pretty much every morning and each morning I see it there, I just smile since they still haven't been able to lure some sucker in to buy it.
Sooner or later they will, I'm sure, but until then I enjoy seeing them not being able to gouge some fool with more money than brains.

New CAFE Fuel Economy Standards Not as Big a Change as You Think
May 21st, 2009 by Ross Edwards
Earlier this week, President Obama officially moved the deadline for the new CAFE standards up from 2020 to 2016. The new standards will require each manufacturer to increase its fleet’s average fuel economy by 5% each year in order to meet the standards. That will really mean an average fuel economy of 23 mpg, not 35.5.
Edmunds Inside Line has pointed out that the CAFE fuel economy ratings are different from the EPA ones, which are more widely used. The EPA numbers, which are used by carmakers’ websites and posted on a new car’s window sticker, are much lower and more realistic than CAFE numbers. The 39 mpg CAFE mileage requirement for cars corresponds to about 29 EPA mpg. Likewise, the mileage requirement for trucks is much lower than it looks, the new requirements will be just 23 EPA mpg.
