I think I know what you are talking about.
But, please explain.
I know all about it, bro.
But, I'm saying GM NEEDS to bring it to the U.S.

Funny as how we have sold for 5k over sticker every single one of our '10 Camaro's here at my work. 4 SS's and 3 v6's. The large Ford dealership next door hasnt sold ONE 2010 Mustang. Hell couple have been setting on the lot for over a month. Missouri ppl must be smart.
Will the stealership you work at be one of the GM dealerships that are closing because of GM's reorganization and bankruptcy?

If it is a convertible I could care less because they do not make a 2010 convertible model currently so therefore you have nothing to base the comparison with. They only make a coupe currently and that is what we are talking about a coupe price and comparison for price inflation was made with the 02 Z28 model coupe.
Finally I could really care less for your LE car, it is not even worth a mention in the conversation because of its limited run and special markup for what amounts to a bunch of badges, plaques, and unique stitching in the seats. Once again there is no LE 2010 car so I am not sure what your point is.
I mentioned the price of my SS coupe as a comparison to show where the Z/28 coupe typically left off and where the SS coupe prices typically took over, it is possible to see a slight overlap. But if you paid 30K for a Z/28 coupe then you got taken for at least 5K which was unheard of in 02 because they were giving them away at invoice.

Upset eh..... I didnt pay 30k for a Z/28, he did, Im just going off the information he gave me, maybe your right.. Who cares actually. I was just throwing out the LE price because you made it sound absurd to pay a price over 30k for a 02 camaro. On that note....are you saying that EVERY Dealer in America was selling the 02s at invoice....you mean the 35th Anniversary Camaros, not just the LEs but the Last of the Breed at that moment and time. I mean the last of the camaro as we knew it......... YOUR GOOD. lol no hard feelings bro, but im sure you dont speak for every dealer in america in 2002.
Good times

As I understand it, the G8 (if it does get brand swapped) will become the new Impala in the North American market.

There was a discussion about this at camaro5, and Scott Settlemire even chimed in. Now he doesn't make all the decisions, but it sounded like GM will not be saving/rebadging the G8 for the US market. He said sales have been too slow and didn't think there was a good chance to save it. I hope you are right and they do figure something out, seems like a shame.

I've been following all of that.
Either way, GM needs to get their head out of their *** and save the G8.

It should if GM has a clue. They could probably sell the **** out of them for the simple fact that police departments would go back to a RWD GM over the Crown Vics. They only went to Crown Vics when GM quit making the Caprice. I would also rather have a G8 GT or Impala SS over a Camaro, and I have been a Camaro fanatic all my life.
like has already been pointed out http://www.chevrolet.com/vehicles/2010/camaro/build.do
there are hundreds of dealers selling for MSRP. they are not hard to find.

As long as we are talking about pricing on these compared to 4th gens, everyone is talking about an 02, that was the 5th year of the LS1 4th gen, and they were trying to sell them. A similarly options 98-99 car had a higher sticker price. I have a 99 Z28, base interior, hardtop, very few options at all, base 16 inch z28 wheels. Original sticker price still in glove box $27,700. This is also an Auto, with 2.73 gears. The 6-speed and SS packages would put that about 33,000 for the time. I think the 2010 V6 and V8, even though I cannot currently afford one, is a good deal. Go buy a 2010 Mustang GT Premium with track pack and all options...somewhere around 38-40k. Go buy a 2SS Camaro with all options. Somewhere around 39-42k. It is a little more, but not by much. Don't base it off of seeing a v6 rs with every little thing on it going for 33 and be like "holy ****, a v6 sells for that much, My god, GM is crazy" No the person who buys that **** is crazy, or just likes nice features on a car. You can get a base V6 car with hardly any options for like 24k. That's a deal to me.
P.S. My Mother just bought a 2009 Mustang with Most* options for over 28k, that was sticker price. You can add **** all day long.

they got more expensive every year, they did not go down in price.

I'm just not sold on the weight, IRS and interior. I'll eventually find my good deal on a V8, but it'll probably be on a C6 Vette

If he still has the price in the glove box I dont see how your going to argue his statement. Do you guys think that just because where you live a certain price is presented and it covers the united states as a whole?

i saw a 2010 ss in beckley WV yesterday at lewis chevrolet for over $52,000. It said $42,000 and then had exactly $10,000 added at the bottom for something and a woman was going to buy it. I could not believe how much they wanted. thats about $16-20,000 more than i think it should be.

As with any new car like this, some dealers won't mark them up, others will mark them up as high as they can until people won't be willing to pay anymore. Personally I couldn't see spending that much on a V6. Those people obviously just want one for the sake of wanting one that bad.
As for a few pages back saying about the V6 vs a new Stang GT. Given equal drivers, there's probably a second between the 2 cars. Maybe it would keep up, but given complete driver failure in the GT the V6 Camaro isn't going to win as good as that powerplant is. Unless someone wants to chime in with actual races from the track. And it will all be irrelevant once the Stang gets the new 400hp powerplant next year it will easy give the SS a good run then since now with only 315 hp they're only a few tenths behind.
