Default Already sick of it?

Am I the only person whom is already losing intrest in the new camaro.

I still like it, but I feel like I've seen it hawked so much, it's losing some of its intrest.

If you do or don't like it already, I just wonder is all the hype turning you off or still getting you giddy for it's release?

Also do you think not just Camaro/GM/Sports car heads are getting turned on or off by it's advertising.

I'm just tired of all the what-if threads, which is why I no longer read them. I also think GM has stretched this one out a little too far and they are taking too long getting this thing into production. By the time it comes out, the mustang will have a newer design, the challenger will be out (I think) and well...yea. I just think GM would be in a lot better shape if they get the new Camaro in show rooms and start selling them by Spring/Summer or 2008. But that is just my opinion and it is probably why I don't work for GM...

I'm still very much excited for it. I just can’t wait to see them on the roads and have one in my garage. And the reality is that the majority of the public is not aware that the Camaro is coming back. When the new Camaro finally shows at dealerships the hype will be very much alive as when we first saw the debut of the concept. I'm predicting the Camaro will outsell the Mustang.

Looks a little like the new Mopar, once a million are on on the road, like the mustake I mean mustang, who will care, still think the 35th "LE" are nice and after they stopped in 02 I have only seen very few...

I think the hype has worn off a little, but once we get closer to production people will start going bananas. I am still excited about the car, and to be honest...I'm glad it's not coming out sooner...cause I don't have the money yet. I really don't care if there are a million on the road because mine will have performance and appearance mods that make it different from all the others.

I don't see how anyone could be sick of the new Camaro when there isn't a single one on the road anywhere.

I'm not sick of it but I wish GM would let a little news about it leak every few months. I do think they should have kept it under wraps for another year or so and then shown it so the wait wouldn't be so long. I realize that it takes a long time from concept to production but damn, if they don't at least tell us what engine choices it will have soon I think I'm going to start leaning towards an 08 vette instead.

I really don't think the general population has seen enough of it yet. We've all seen a lot of it because we're all car folks, so I could understand why a person could get tired of it before the actual release.
