2009 Camaro Pricing?!?! Has anyone heard word of what the V8 model Camaro will be running? I would expect it to be running around mid 30's to 40k.
I dont know about you guys, but the new camaro's interior looks amazing (especially for gm). But the exterior jus seems to be slacking a bit. It just needs a little something to make it look more sporty. For example, the new GTO kind of blah. but if you see one with the ram air hood it just looks so much better.
If you have seen pics of the concept Firechicken, that thing if ****** bad! The whole thing is fully detailed, jus like the 98-02 trans am WS-6 were. Look like a monster ready to prey on a Muskrat.
I just think the new Cammy needs a little spunk. The new Mustang looks bad ***. WTF! is what im sayin. I hate muskrats they're the reason camaros became extinct in the first place. GM needs to step up in their game a make a nasty ****** camaro that aint going no where.

I would expect it to be competively priced with the Mustang.
I would expect the interior to not look like what it does in the concept. A little too conceptish IMO.
There is no concept Firebird only pics that have been chopped and there are a few different ones at that.
And the last thing

I agree i'm not that crazy about the interior but i know it will change somewhat. If they could take a GTO interior and put it in the camaro then that would be the ****! the GTO has the best interior (looks wise and feel wise) of just about any GM vehicle made.

Yeah, it will be competitively priced with Mustang.
I think the interior is awesome except for the gauges and dash layout.
But that will be changing for the production car anyway.

Damn you guys are on a whole nother level then me. I think that interior is awesome. The exterior needs some work. its too blah. it jus gonna be a heavy turd jus like the new mustang. all that power but its a frigin boat. thats why the c6 corvette walks all over the shelby gt 500.
As far as the pictures of the firebird, prototype or not. Thats what they should look like. These cars need some spunk to them, they aint no old mans cruiser. Safe that for lincoln n mercury.

The exterior is probley going to stay pretty close to the same. I think it would be a big mistake to change the exterior much with all the good reviews it has gotten. Also the pics don't do justice for the car. Have you seen it in person?
I just dont believe that anyone can look at the pictures, without seeing it in person and knowing what materials, and quantities of said materials are in it, and fairly assess that it is going to be 'heavy'. Its all an UN-educated guess with nothing more than visual interpretation. No stats, pure hypothosis.
Yes, the car LOOKS big, on film at least, but so do cars from the 60's and God knows they were lighter than now.
Size is not a fair representation of weight.

You're right; these Camaro concepts are small cars. A good bit smaller than the 4th gen.

It looks bigger mostly due to the higher belt line.
It's actually 7 inches SHORTER than a 4th gen.
One simply can't get the full impact of the design of this car without seeing it in person. There's some character lines that are awesome details that don't show up much in pictures.

+1 on a interior like a GTOs. I have to say it has an interior that should be a new standard for the 5th gen. If it weighs like the GTO, I hope it just has more room for at least 315 on a 18'' wheel unlike the GTO. I like to have focus on making power rather than how im going to roll my fenders/ find a offset to make traction with my bolt-on/ cam power. All this and the camaro will be in my garage and maybe a v6 for the wife unit. She loves the look of the car. 
umm last time i checked, Chevy didnt stop making the f-bodys because of Ford. They stop making them because they were saleing to many of them and not enough corvettes.

WTF? GM stoped making f-bodies because they weren't selling very well (compared to the mustangs at that time). The basic design of the car stayed the same from 1993-2002 with only a minor facelift in 1998.

40k? Thats rediculous. You can get a C5 Z06 for 20K.
The new Z28 needs to be affordable, just like the Mustang GT. You can get a nicely optioned GT for 21K-24K, you should be able to get a nicely optioned Z28 for around the same.
I dont care what year the car is... its still a Camaro... a poor mans Corvette, so GM better price the damn thing like one.
Makes no difference, if the V-6 version isn't a success, the car won't be a success.

And the v6 models is always the workhorse model for sales. V6 sell in fleets, to rental car companies, program cars, younger or non performance buyers, and sell roughly 1:5 to the V8 model. I hate to say it but, if everyone and their mom didnt have a v6 mustang; the GT wouldnt sell for the price it does. GM, I think, needs to build comparable or more v6 models of their pony car than ford for us to see a LS3, or whatever like it, affordable.
Bottom line, if a GM executive or camaro marketing person reads this, please make a base optioned Ls3 version for less than 30k and then ask your what would jesus do. lol.
