Best selling in that ERA....60/70s
I would argue that the 6th gen was an open ohmage to the first gen camaro, with a lot of the inspiration from the first generation coming through to the 6th generation.
When I think of classic Camaros, that is the version I see.
For me, when I think of the...
Usability yes. This means an interior and exterior that is functional for the user (driver) of the vehicle.
That means controls in good interior with the appropriate physical switches, and easy to navigate secondary digital interfaces. All digital interfaces are bad when you have to take...
as a "legit" Camaro? Nope. As a 4 door sedan like the SS or similar? yes.
I would accept a Buick version in place provided it still have the V8, and that allows Chevy fans to have their "legit" Camaro
That's fairly accurate.
I love the idea of a manual option for those that want it. While I would probably never use it, it makes tons of sense, especially it it's a good transmission.
Second, I hope there is room for a 2 door pony car in the lineup. Having three distinct versions of the...
Brand loyalty doesn't matter if your customer base is aging out...
Let's face it, Chevy does not care about people beyond 70. Even if they bought a new car at 70, that's probably the last car they will ever buy.
Even people in their 60s are starting to look at "last cars". I am early 50s and I...
Sedans are making a comeback... Probably just the fuel prices, but take a look at the numbers. Sedans are not dead, stupid boring sedans area, and that is what Ford and GM produced...
In Reference to the "Third camp". The V Blackwing needs to remain a halo performance luxury car on the level of the M5. Something that blows most non-supercars/hyper cars out of water, while retaining a "civilized" ride. Trackable, but no owner would ever do so. The Camaro halo car will...
I've driven muscle cars, and I've driven pony cars, and I know my preference...as does anyone who is paying attention on these forums. I fully admit, I am biased, I absolutely love driving muscle cars...especially sleepers. It doesn't need a loud cracking exhaust, it just needs grunt, good...
First, let's look at who these "halo cars" are designed for.
1) it isn't you and me, or almost anyone on these forums. There may be a few people here that will drop 100k on a third car, but they are not the majority.
2) Those cars are for celebrities, movie starts, and the rich (not the...
I would be willing to put money down that the Halo version of the Camaro...no matter what engine they might put in it...is going to cost more than 100k. Between options and such, I would fully expect a track ready Camaro ready to tackle the NĂĽrburg ring...will end up costing 140k plus.
Halo...
caught that? Yeah, sorry, meant 800 Considering the ford DH SC is close to that, Caddy can do it too...and so can the Halo car of the Camaro. Buick? 650 sounds perfect as the halo GNX.
Ideally, they would both launch at the same time. That said, GM Authority has some speculation that the new Camaro could be even more upsetting to Camaro purists....it might be a wagon like the Dodge Magnum. IIRC, the Magnum came out first in dodge, along with the 300 sedan and the Charger...
With the announcement of the Chevy and Buick cars to come alongside a new "CT5", I think it's important to understand the possibilities for these vehicles, their limitations, target audience, and potential competition.
First, let's define each
Pony car - an affordable (usually a convertible, a...
I am hoping (I know, unlikely) that they can get a base model down to 29.995. It would be very difficult, but a bare boney car under 30k will get people at least talking about it. 50k needs to be base 6.7, maybe 45k if they can swing it. Buick can be more expensive.
That’s the whole problem. There are not enough “Camaro fans” to support the car. If there were, it would not have been killed off…twice.
If GM decided to repeat itself, it will fail a third time. The segment is nearly dead already. Even without competition, the Mustang only did what…45k last...
OnStar - not gonna happen
agree on security system
Axle - agree
rear brake-e-brake integration - agree. Keep part differential minimized
Round steering wheel - matter of choice
DCT - Not gonna happen except on halo cars. Too expensive and they have a 10 speed.
Possible halo engine
Port and...
That is quite obviously, your decision. However, there are others out there that would not consider buying a 2 door. The four door market is much bigger than the 2 door market is.
Personally, I would love to see a 2 door Chevy, a 4 door Buick, and a 4 door caddy...but we can skip the last...
because the people with the money to buy these cars actually want to be able to throw a couple sets of golf clubs in the trunk and head out to the course...or throw some suitcases (not just a carry on) in the truck take it on a road trip. Both the M3 and the M5 have a sizable truck space...
That's not bad.
Obviously it's done in the style of a concept vehicle, because those wheels are way too big and those tires too narrow for a production vehicle. Likewise the body lines on the doors are great for a concept, won't work in real life, plus you need a few more inches (at least...
