Not to buy that! I'm already at the point where for the first time in my life I'm looking at buying something other than a GM product. Other than the Vette, I can't stand GM's designs anymore.

In a lot of ways, the General has become like cafeteria lunch: Doesn't matter if they serve filet mignon, we'll still complain about it.

If you look at some of the products in the context of the world market, GM is doing just fine:
Cobalt SS: Competitive Sport Compact car.
CTS-V: Competitive Euro Sports Sedan
Corvette Z06: Extraordinary Supercar Value
Silverado SS: Probably the most well rounded sport truck on the market when you factor in both performance and truck capabilities.

Chrysler has a home run with the 300/Magnum wagon thanks to Hemi and styling.
Ford has a home run with the Mustang thanks to styling and value.

I think what GM is missing is a Halo car. Dodge has the Viper and Ford has the GT, but where's GM's Halo car? Sure, we've all seen the leaked pics of the Z06, and there's no doubt it will be the best Vette EVER produced, but it just doesn't have that Halo car image to me. Just my 2 cents.

I think that a 4-door Camaro is unthinkable as a 4-door 'Vette, no way.

What Chevy needs is to match the awesome new Mustang, even though it is modern it looks like a Mustang Fastback form the sixties. Ford has done a good job and Chevy has to come up with a new Camaro that shows its heritage from the First Gens. That would probaly sell good. The people in the market for this kinda car doesn't look for 4-doors or practicality, they want a fun cool car.

A 4-door Camaro would be shooting themselves in the foot.

BTW Scott, we need a puking smiley too.

That's a big NEGATIVE................Camaro's weren't to be 4 doors..........I'm with you..........if it's going to be a 4 door........then it needs to be an impala.

As far as a halo car........I thinking and could be wrong........but it seems to me that gm's halo was probably the Grand Sport Corvette of the 60's........they could attempt the bring it back but I guess that's what the new Z06 would be.........

Sorry if I ran on there......lol

I think that the highly rumored Blue Devil Z06 would make a great Halo car.
