The government will not let any of the big 3 die as too many jobs are at stake. So, since GM WILL make it through Camaro production (on schedule, I might add), all the enthusiasts who have pre-ordered will be getting their Camaros in the last leg of the "recession" (or whatever you want to call it). Keeping in mind ALL auto sales will be low, when the economy does come back in summer '09 many people will be in the market for a new car, since those who were going to purchase between now and then have put it off. Meanwhile, they have seen all us enthusiasts driving our crazy awesome Camaros around for the past several months, and so when the economy comes back lots of people will be so in love with the car that they will buy it, leading to GM making a substantial profit in Q3-Q4 of 2009, which leads to more money for R&D which leads to higher quality vehicles which leads to GM dominating the global car market which leads to craploads of more money which can be used to develop flying Camaros or whatever!

Just my optomistic $.02.

That's the new NSX??? They totally abandoned its uniqueness of a mid-ship car. Ugh, I hope they don't ruin the S2000...

Asstek. To me, it is the definition of hideous. That isn't even its worst angle. It doesn't have a good angle, but it gets worse from there. They are the biggest piece of ugly that GM has produced. I have yet to find any manufacturer put something uglier into production. Aperently, some Pontiac dealers still sold some new ones last year, despite being out of production since 2006. I case you haven't noticed, I hate those things!

The S3k's rear look's like an Accord, kinda. I think they should keep it under 3000, it could be 2999, for all I care. S3000 sounds too futuristic.

i wasn't impressed by the S2k. geared WAY too low. 4500rpm just to do 75 in 6th gear. handled & accelerated like a champ though.
