Default Here she is...

I dont see a thread for this yet. I gotta agree with autoblog on this one, bad place for a debut.

Glad to see that...maybe it will make the car popular with idiots who waste money and put dubs on their rides. More ppl buying it the better it is for you and me.

So will all Camaros be silver and black cause Im really getting tired of every f%$king time I see a new camaro its plane and boring(yes I am aware of the color choices on GMs site). I know the car has more personality than that and I want to see them flaunt it a little like Dodge did with the Challenger concept.

Atleast they found someone that is popular with people under the age of 40 to put with the car. Maybe that will get more people into Chevy dealerships to buy Camaros so they wont kill it again. BTW that SS looks great. And Fergie isn't lookin too bad either.

The car should have def. debuted with Bob Barker or Lutz, or Tony Stewart or some other old *** boring **** to satisfy you all. Sure the car would die again from lack of popularity, but at least the SS would have your respect.

I didn't say anything negative about the Camaro. I've owned a few myself. Where'd you even pull that from?

...meh...*shrugs*

i think its a good move, like stated above the women love mustangs and if we can get a more broad range of buyers then it will stay alive. They have made a good move with the 300 hp v6 option for buyers that want a sports car that is more fun to drive then their v6 mustang and looks much nicer. At least we get the LS3 option too..its a win win situation. Who knows, it might be in the next rap video....whatever works to sell the damn car!
