I have a soft spot for the Challenger as well. For years, I've wanted a '70 Barracuda, fitted out with a 440 Magnum. My first car was a 73 Dodge Charger SE with a 440 Magnum, and it was the sweetest sounding engine I've ever driven.

I did consider the Challenger, as it has a far better retro look than the Camaro, but I couldn't get over the price difference for the SRT8, as well as the better performance of the Camaro. I love the look of the Camaro, but Dodge did hit it out of the park in my opinion in what they did for style for the Challenger look.

Well the Challenger has killer commercials and so does the Mustang.....

Still not sure why Chevrolet doesn't have good commercials for the Camaro.

Saying "they don't need them because it's selling". That's just arrogance. The same arrogance that got American Car companies to the point of getting their asses handed to them by the Japanese car makers.

Think about it.

Whether I think the car is slow or mine is faster I like the commercial.

this is a legit question i have. do you think chevy paid to be in transformers, or do you think transformers paid chevy to have their cars in their movie?

I personally think chevy beat out the competition, if there was any, to be in the movie. maybe they blew their wad on transformers? it's a hell of a way to promote your car, imo.

It's not arrogance, it's common sense. Why advertise something heavily that is outselling the competition already? And let's be honest, GM needs to save money where they can.

Me personally, I think Dodge is stupid to have that commercial. They already sell them in the numbers they produce them in, and Dodge is keeping the Challenger a low production car. So they are spending money to advertise a low production car that already has more demand than supply.

I think GM still needs to watch their pennies right now ,and they have to market their cars that still need some help. I think dodge really doesn't have anything to lose at this point, and they have to do something to get challenger sales moving.

I loved that old trans am ram air commercial where is sucked the car in front threw the motor and spit it out the tail pipes so much that I went and bought. one. So I know first hand that this kind of marketing does work.

I think the Camaro has had more advertising than any car out there! Lets not forgot where most of us saw the new camaro and fell in love with it. The movie Transformers ring a bell?! That movie like number one in the world when it came out...no need for more advertising

I don't know what you guys are talking about with the camaro not being advertised. The camaro is the focus of plenty commercials, they just have other chevy cars in it too. Chevy really should make a cool commercial for the camaro. Advertising won't hurt, but not advertising might, especially when ford and dodge are advertising their pony cars. Sure, everyone knows the camaro is available, but do they know it's affordable and a good buy? They sure as hell have had the 31mpg 305hp v6 mustang rammed into their brains after the new Ford commercial. GM should be advertising to counter.
