I can see where Nissan may lose some customers from the introduction of the Camaro, but not so much from BMW. Let's just face it, regardless of the price range, people looking to buy a BMW are rarely going to cross-shop and seriously consider the Camaro.


I see you dont spend a lot of time on the bmw forums.



I cant even mention the Camaro on there without getting a wave of 'ive got one on order to replace my 135i/335i!!!' posts.

That explains why you like the Challenger more than the Camaro.

Maybe I should've thrown in an emoticon on that post, LMAO. I love the Chally', don't get me wrong. It's easily my second alternative after the Camaro and my first favorite car was the Plymouth 'Cuda. I was just joking around.

How many '10 Camaros and '10 Mustangs have you driven? None,nadda,zip. Can i borrow your magic 8-ball so i can figure out which cars i want and don't want for the next few years.
I bet having a opinion with no basis in reality or experience is fun. I'll think i'll try it. The '14 Camaro is garbage next to the '16 Mustang,why would anyone want a Camaro now?
