Sorry about the double post it's just that I'm overjoyed to see a car that is not aimed at the appliance crowd....

[mtbr]

Yeah those Chevy Oveos and Pontiac Pursuits are over done.

Yeah, but that's what got GM in the shitter in the first place: building cars that are nice cars but have NO CONSUMER DEMAND. This is just another example of building a car, that, no matter how nice it is, WILL NOT SELL. Once GM gets off the folly-wagon and STOPS building gas-guzzlers, they MAY stand a chance. No, strike that last sentence. GM is as fucked as fucked can be.

I thought the 'Pursuit' was a great name for it. 'Cause it can't actually catch or pass anything. I hated the Torrent though. Having to get a little bit from a whole bunch of dealers, then put it together yourself? Dumb idea.

$1:

Spoiling the good news is a recall order on SS models of the car. General Motors Corp. says it is recalling about 300 Camaros because a battery cable could rub against the starter motor, wearing the insulation and potentially causing the car to stop running or fail to start.

nothing ever changes at GM

$1:

GM spokesman Dan Flores says the company has made about 1,400 of the V-8 equipped 2010 Camaros and 300 have been sold. The unsold models will be fixed before they are delivered to customers. Flores says GM will tow the cars to dealers and offer free loaner vehicles and oil changes.

If I buy a Camaro do they throw in a trunk full of GM shares


GM shares hit lowest mark since 1933

True it's appeal is greater. Wait till the end of the year and you'll see who comes out on top

The Genesis Coupe is being compared to 45000 dollar cars.

Can the Camaro even go around corners Looks kind of like a square box. Probably handles like an old 74 Dodge Dart

Yeah, I did. And I'm educated enough to recognize horseshit when I read it. V-8s are what got GM into trouble. Their continued production will not help that. If you think V-8 sports cars are the answer to GM's problems, then I encourage you to get on I-trade and buy some stock. I think I'll stear clear though.
