Default LOL @ 2010 Camaro

I havn't seen any 2010's driving around at all yet. I've seen tons of 2009 mustangs so far.I wondered why no one was purchasing these cars until I saw mid 30s for a V6. LOL @ that. An 02 Z28 fully loaded was like 25K. good luck GM!

The camaro is much better looking than the mustang... and dealerships around here cant get enough of them. They never have any on lot - people take dibs before they get here. Also, the ls1 camaro was basically a stripped down car with a good engine while the new camaros have more luxuries to them. They are not the same market. Its more in the birds/gto territory.

Mid 30's....LOL...... Maybe if you get the 21 inch wheel option. If you dont know the facts why even speak dude. I haven't seen a 304hp SIDI V6 2LT car with the RS package for over 31k MSRP!!! I haven't seen a 2010 Mustang on the road yet, and I work at a Chevrolet dealership right up from the Ford dealership. Theres more technology in the valve cover of that 3.6 than that 4.6 entire motor. lol

I actually saw a new mustang the other day... but it depends on the dealer and area on pricing. Since there arent any to even see in my area, I wouldnt be surprised if they were selling for that much here. Supply and demand.

Since YOU dont know what your talking about why even speak? They have a bunch of people in other threads about the new Camaro saying that the V6s are going for well over $30k. Just simply look in the other threads and see for yourself.

Ive seen them in person, and at bruce lowerie here in Texas you can get a 2LT/RS for 27,800. I went to nichols ford and seen the 2010 Mustang (buy the way, the 09s are not the new body style) and for the deluxe GT it was 34k, thats not even the premium. For the Premy the guy said around 38k. WHAT EVER lol. I can buy a 2SS/RS for around 38k. IT depends on where you live and the dealers. You think because you see a couple threads that all dealers are marking up. The new mustangs look pretty good, just no where near as good as the Camaro or challenger.

I think the Mustang maybe a better buy than the Challanger, Just for the simple fact of stangs handling. I have driven Challengers and the are kind of hefty

not quite dude, saw one just as you describe for 36 grand. Amazingly it sold within a week (like 3 days later saw it driving around).

I dont know how people are willing to pay soooooo much for a v6 pig? Just dont get it.

Oh well my next car is going to be a 65 impala, screw the new stuff.

I agree. I don't know why people are willing to buy a v6 for 36 grand. People are going to do what they want with their money but I sure as hell aint gonna spend 36k on a v6. I guess it's because they want to be the 1st group of people to get it and have bragging rights. That's cool too. But with a car that puts out 304hp/270tq and it's heavier than a 4th gen fbody, hard for me to justify spending that kind of money on it.

All you have to do is go online and look at autotrader or ebay. Tons of V6 models selling for 30s. I remember when the new camaro was first announced, people all thought the SS was going to be 30K.

And it should have been $30k for an SS. Just look at the G8 GT's. When those came out you could get a fully loaded one for $34k sticker. Now, I think you can get one in the high $20's. The G8's are much nicer cars than the Camaro IMO.

I won't buy a new Camaro for what they are asking. For a couple K more, I could have a C6 or a slightly used C6Z. GM should be selling these things for cost considering how much money we the taxpayers have given them (yes I say given them considering they will be filing chapter 11 in the next week or so).
