If the author did an article on the demographics of buyers who buy cars that go less than 14 seconds in the 1/4 mile, he would probably have found evidence that those people spend more time on the internet than the previous study. He may have found that they also spend more on their cars, or that they have more Lynerd Skynerd CD's, or that they wash their cars more often.....any number of things.

Is it *really* so hard to believe that higher educated people buy Honda's more often that less educated people? I don't think so.

I do agree that the humor/slam at the end of the article wasn't needed and only took away from the content of the article.

Let me say this....I bought my domestic car for several reasons over a foreign car:

1) Honda/Toyota doesn't make a thing I like
2) They are over priced, in my opinion, in relationship to domestic cars.

Let me say this, too. I don't care in the least about car companies, because i know that they don't give a tinker's damn about any of us, and there is tons of evidence that shows this, based on their indifference through the years of the consumer, and the only reason they are making their cars better now is because of the dollar....this is the only thing that any car company cares about, so I don't feel the love/loyalty towards these companies like some of you do, so I don't find offense in chevy/ford or any company being bashed. I feel no sense of loyalty to any company and buy only what benefits me.

You all bought what you liked, I hope, because you liked it and no other car company made it. Each of you are comfortable with the reliability/resale of what you bought. You made an educated choice, based on what you wanted. AS A GROUP, we may not be as smart as other buyers of vehicles, but our needs are different than the other buyers, but the article didn't really assess that, so why be offended? That's what I guess I am missing.

Thanks for the welcome here. I read this site often and like the camaro, and if they hadn't wanted to sell to me at MSRP and HIGHER, I would have one today.

You're missing the entire gist of the article. You seem to think that we are insulted for Chevrolet.

This article doesn't target the automakers, but the people that patronize them. It is a blatant attack on our taste and intelligence. It's an uncalled-for and a completely opinionated spin on some unnamed study. The facts aren't displayed- we are forced to take the writer's word for it, which leads me to believe that some facts have been left out from the beginning. The message is clear. Don't buy American. Smart, tasteful, interesting people buy elsewhere. PS, people that choose Chevy are morons.

Nah. If you can't understand why this would be insulting, then there's not much else I can say.

Oh, and MSRP is a pretty damned good price. Let me know who was gonna give you that price on a new Camaro, so I can pay them a visit.
