One of the main reasons to buy a Camaro

I might be a little overly dramatic when I say this, but...one of the main reasons I would buy a Camaro would be to show that I am proud to be an American.
The British have their car and are proud of it.
The Japanese have their car...
The Italians have their car...
The Germans have their car...
And the U.S. has their iconic car. The Camaro. I say "The Camaro" because when one thinks of American Muscle cars, he or she most likely thinks Camaro, Trans Am, and Mustang. Since the Trans Am is currently "not here" (too bad...they were the only ones to keep the big cubes, whereas, everyone else went anal during the 1970s..) and the Mustang...well..you know ...just kidding (although the GT500 is cool..but ZL1 is better ) the Camaro just screams, "Proud to be an American."

So for all those who state, "American Muscle sucks." Just give it a break. There really isn't a car that "sucks" in my opinion...if one is faster than the other, its just about who spent the most money on their car. Whoever spent the most money, may be the fastest. SO, give it a rest.

For those who drive American Muscle, . We are proud to drive a machine that was built for an American. The sound of the classic growl, the smell of burnt rubber, (in my opinion, what fun is AWD? takes away SOME driving fun...I have EVO friends, but c'mon sliding with the tail out, burning rubber, the front end lifting up with all the torque...etc), well anyway,
this message is getting freaking long, so, yeah..Thats my opinion. Whether agree or not, whatever.

I agree, this is an iconic american muscle car, but the only problem I have with that statement is that it will not be built in America. Now dont get all defensive, because I only buy from the big three, well actually only 1. Chevrolet or GM. In my mind its still 100% American, but to other people, they say not really its built in Canada, blah, blah. Who cares, GM IS AMERICAN and WILL BE!

I'd much rather know my hard earned dollar spent on the Camaro is going to feed another american family at the end of the day. I must say that dissapoints me. Seriously though, what can we do about it? At least we are helping our neighboring country and not someone halfway around the world. GM is GM and that to me is american.

HA! I know...I was thinking about that when I said it. But, I was leaning more along the lines of the actual build process (which will be done in Canada), since that was kinda the topic.

american pride !!!

I agree with you Brother,

I currently own a Cadillac (american) and look forward to my second car being a musclecar. I believe everyone's entitle to their opinion but it certainly won't change mine.

My choice of cars is american:
my choice of luxury sedan is a Cadillac 2005
my choice of musclecar is a Camaro (dare i say) 2008!

woot woot

the main reason to buy one is you have a full 36 months to start saving up for one before you will be able to actually get one. you will have extra cash saved for modifying it or to lower your monthly payment

Amen, and that's why I say Toyota is the enemy!

They build great cars, but they have NO personality or anything visually simulating.

Even Honda/Acura and Nissan/Infiniti have better styling cues than Toyota/Lexus.

Toyota Camry Car of the Year(2007)? You got to be kidding me......
