GM failed to retain the Oldsmobile Alero as a Chevrolet when they canned the entire division in 2002, despite the fact that they were selling like hotcakes in the post 9/11 economy. I thought that was a big mistake....

I read a local article while on vacation in San Francisco in April, that was also one columnist's opinion, which stated that the Camaro would be the "death nail" of GM, that it symbolized everything that is wrong with GM. He went on to make the SS car out to be a sin, that it was even being produced....

I totally disagree with that. I believe history repeats itself. I believe GM needs to look to its past, and design and build cars based on two main goals:

1) build cars people want to own
2) build cars people will buy


In other words: Make them desirable and affordable! That's the Camaro!!
Who is this reporter? I would like to drag him behind my new SS when it arrives.
