Yeap 2010 is when they can use the Camaro name since they Screwed the Canadian Plant that was manufacturing them,thats whey they have to wait so long.

I think they are saying they would rather be driving a Chevy than a Ford. Lots of GM consumers switched to Ford because they quit production of the Camaro and the Trans Am. The only other Chevy choice for a performance vehicle is the Corvette. It was my reason for buying a new Mustang. But I love Ford now. I really do. If they had kept on building Camaro's then maybe I wouldn't have bought my Stang. I don't know for sure. I drove GM vehicles for 30 years.

No, Gm had a contract with Canada for the manufacture of the Camaro and Firebird for I think 20 years. Canada in return would give GM tax incentives. The catch of the contract was that Canada would be the only one building the Camaro . Since GM renege on their contract they can not use the Camaro name brand.

The way I see it, its obvious that GM only cares about one thing and to leave Canada and the Camaro fan boys hanging like that shows you what they are made of. I remember that Ford was going to replace the Mustang with a front wheel drive car until they got a bunch of letters from Mustang lovers. BTW that car that was to replace the Mustang was called the Ford Probe and no longer with us RIP. I dont think Ill be in a relationship where you break up like that but I guess some of us like that kind of trama in our lives. I support those who back me up.

Hp is not everything but heritage you cannot get that and you can no longer say Camaro's 40 something anniversary when 2010 comes around I say 1st anniversary start from square one.

I can't wait....I will own one if it ever comes out! :D

I too switched to a mustang for the lack of availability of a new camaro, also becouse of the outageous prices of used ones. I love my mustang but if they do the camaro half the justice it deserves I'll definitely be tempted to buy one. If they half ass the design just to put something out there, I hope it never comes back and remains a "burned out rather than faded away" piece of history. On the other hand, the competition proposed should fuel a hp war between ford & chevy so everyone wins.
