Yes -- it will be a model year 2010 -- but we have not moved the 'start-up' date. We'll start building Camaros in the 4th quarter of 2008 -- and they'll be in dealerships in the first quarter of 2009.

mixed with the breaks (which usually means they said more, but it was omitted)
it doesnt show what question was being asked directly, just his response. someone could have asked 2 or three things and scott could have answered them in series. say someone asks 1.) will there be a vert camaro and will it be available when the coupe is introduced---answer, yes-- it will be a model year 2010---etc.
im just saying that only building 30 in oct is genius and idotic at the same time. its genius in the fact that with only 30 on the road, everyone will want to see them and will reel those back in who got tired of waiting. its idiotic, cus there are enough buyers out there that they could sell them now. as far as the Jan 09 release, ill believe it when I see it. it honestly makes no sense to release it in early Jan of one year but call it the next years model
. every new model for all manufacturers has been released in oct/sept, thats why they always have the "moving the lot" sales and what not to get rid of last years models to make room for the new ones. but apparently gm is only going to release 30 to the country next fall. but then again, gm has been building up the camaro for 5 years, so whats another 2?
ill tell you what another 2 years is. 2 years is time enough for those out there who aren't hardcore gm/chevy/camaro to say "ya know what, im tired of waiting, im going to get a mustang, cus they are sooooooo cheap right now and there's a big aftermarket already out. I'd hate to get the new camaro and be put in the ground cus there's no big aftermarket for it since the mustang has been out the whole time that the camaro ha been in remission"
im not pointing any fingers at anyone, nor am i talking about myself (ill drive my 94 till it dies before i buy a mustang). but i am showing how gm is faltering by waiting as long as they have and are.
origionally they said it would be an 09 model because the 69 was the best year for the camaro, so it was kind-of a "40th" anniversary but not really. GM
SHOULD HAVE released this car at the end of 06 as an 07 model, slap a 40th ann badge on the side of the ss and they could sell the damn things for 50k easy. but no they are waiting and postponing this. and according to some of you they are now waiting even longer to release this car.
honestly im about tired of hearing speculation/rumors/etc. part of the main reason we have so many lurkers and spectators is the fact that most of the stuff on here is speculation. and people dont care about speculation. granted we've gone over every single possible version of the camaro and numerous other vehicles, but still i think a lot of those out there who aren't diehard fanatics will start to slink away from the 5th gen if it gets put out any farther.
ok, my brain hurts. immma look at some of dragon's ps's
