With that said, I don't know that the Camaro has to be mutually exclusive of the G8 and Impala. Just becasue they are in a hurry to get their volume cars under production doesn't necessarily mean they do not have the resources to do the same with the Camaro. With that said, I still think it will hit the showrooms late in 08. |

I have a feeling one of the reasons why they say '09 release and stick with it is to fool the competition. Best way to make the car a big success and steal away market share from the Mustang is to say late release date, and then spring it on them sooner than expected. That thinking does make sense. The Mustang isn't due for a big horsepower increase until 2009. If they get the Camaro out the door in '08, GM will take a significant market share for muscle cars by doing so and maybe become a frontrunner down the road. A sneak attack on Ford is quite plausible and will make the Camaro a much bigger money maker. |

I agree 08 what part I don't know. but why would a company want to sneak attack this car when there are people that are saving now that would drop a deposit on it if they knew it was going to be out real soon. and for people like me that are saving I would save even more if I knew for a fact it was going to be out sooner. yes they shouldn't tell everyone under the sun it's coming out really early but they shouldn't wait to long to tell us when.

2002 Ford Mustang $22,895 (base V6) - $35,170 (GT) 2002 Chevrolet Camaro $27,270 (base V6) - $39,500 (Z28) When it came to the SLP SS models, those started in the low $40,000s and could go well over $50,000 with all of the SLP performance options. This does not include the 15% in taxes you pay North of the border. So yes, I am not completely correct in my US analysis. But as far as why the 4thgen failed in Canada, its pretty obvious with these prices. |
