You cant even vote yet, pipe down and listen.

wooow there tex. thats not the point of the thread and i think you need to show a little more respect to members who have been around alot longer then you and contributed to alot more conversation.

some people need to breathe they're opinion. polls are a way to get peoples opinion without having to say much. now do i think GM will respond to everything we ask for? hell no. but its good to hear peoples ideas and outlooks on what they would have different.
i agree that the Camaro is awesome as is, and i also believe if any significant changes occur, they will happen in later years.

Annoying Polls

Hey high school genius, wow, you bought a truck ha? Thats nice, how did you pay for it? Did you take out a loan? Were you given the money? Did you do both? Why didnt you just put that into your education, become an engineer, work at GM and then try to please a bunch of teens who "wanna" have a "maro" These polls are annoying, you guys have to start a poll or a petittion every 10 minutes. You don't have to tell us how old you are. Its evident that if you cant be happy with what the manufacturer offers. You want it changed to your liking because you think you know more than the manufacturer. Thats the first clue that you might be a 13 year old.

thanks for the heads up

Annoying Polls

Sorry Headpunter, just because I haven't sat on my rear for years making 3000 plus posts as yourself does not mean I cant make an opinion and voice it out. If you want more respect, begin with your own posts. I'm an engineer on the very vehicle you admire. I drive daily 60 miles to work on that vehicle, work an average of 10 hours a day and then drive 60 miles back home. Most Saturdays as well. Now we have the teen agers with their silly polls and petitions. For Christ's sake, buy a Dodge if this isn't all you ant it to be. Truth is 75% of these kids will never have a 2010 Camaro until 2016.

If you do indeed work for GM, you need to have a little more tact and respect for YOUR future customers, IF people didnt buy GM cars, you wouldn't have a job. You need to calm down and stop attacking the enthusiasts on this forum. No matter what age they are. We are all enthusiasts here, and post on this forum to learn as much as we can, and to help others that don't know as much. If you don't want to be a part of that, then maybe you shouldn't post here.

Give me a break. Polls make it quick and easy for GM to see what the consumer wants and make adjustments. I think it's awesome that GM is actually listening.

If 80% of the population wants blue, then it behooves GM to offer that color.

If 80% wants red Brembo calipers, same thing.

If GM doesn't build a car that folks want it won't sell. If they're willing to listen to suggestions, why not have polls to make it quick and easy for them to see what people are interested in statistically?

I do agree with Pink that a Poll Sub forum is a good idea.

LOL

No actually i work full time and go to college fulltime....

if we are trying to guess facts about you from your posting i'd guess you are a PMS prone woman....and i call Shenanigans on you working on the camaro and even working for GM....if you did you would have the good sense not to insult the very people that want to buy the car.

also if you are at work why are you posting on this forum?

OK, now everyone has said their piece.

Lets get back on track. This thread has very little life left.

So, back to the topic of the use or overuse of polls.

Thanks!
