I managed to convert one!

I've got a co-worker that drives a very nice Ford Lightning, needless to say he's one of those blue oval boys. Since I started my job we'd get into it about the new Camaro, Stang, Vette, GT...etc. He's as Ford knowledgeable as I am GM. So Ive been showing him all the numbers and guess what, he just ordered a SS2 Cyber Gray Metallic. So even though I cant get one, Ill be driving one when they hit they streets!

he's also happy to be getting more than 12mpg too!

I've been working on a Toyota guy at work. He is slowly coming around.

OK, so theoretically speaking ... is it a good thing or a bad thing to convert somebody? I mean it's nice to throw the support to GM, but I've always been a fan of not having a mainstream car. I mean when the re-styled Mustangs came out a few years ago, I absolutely loved them, but I knew I would never want one because sooooooo many would be on the road in due time. What are your guys' thought on this?

I converted a guy thinking about the Chally SRT.
He didn't even know a new Camaro was coming out and the dealer had "value markup" on the SRT. Once I 'splained a few things to him he decided against the SRT.

Back when I leased my Cobalt SS Supercharged, I had only seen a couple on the road prior so part of the reason I bought it was because it wasn't very common...

3 years later I see like 2-3 of them a day!

The Camaro isn't going to be very common maybe the first model year or two, but give it a few years and they're going probably be just as common as the Mustang if the Camaro is successful. I'm starting to see more Challenger's on the road now too...

If the Camaro isn't a mainstream car, GM will lose a lot of money, which is a very bad thing.
