Heck, look at this forum...supposedly the Car Chat section is made of auto enthusiasts but even these folks labor under the myth that new domestic cars are going to fall to pieces in 10K miles. Can you imagine how bad it is with the average non auto enthusiast consumer who has no clue to begin with?

Bob Lutz forecasted annual sales of 100K, but that was back before new car sales fell nearly 50%

These comments are a bit extreme, but I must agree that neither Infiniti nor Acura are at the same level of luxury of Lexus / BMW / etc. However....the G35 definitely wallops the mustang in terms of luxury feel.
Anyway, back to the camaro: I am a fan of the old F-Body firebirds / camaros. Its nice to see a comeback!

compared to a 240sx ( I dont care if you got the red top or a freakn RB ) or a 1995 SC300 with a 2JZ swap, it is a much nicer car and a car that owners of the 2 listed cars should aspire to own one day. Step into this century man .
By the way I drive a GS350. I have stepped up from the G35. The GS 350 you can probably set your sights on as well if you want to step into this century .LOL

you are too damn cocky for someone who drives an entry luxury level GS350. Be more humble man, this is a forum for car enthusiasts. The guy was comparing car's perfomance to car's performance. Not how much a car worth or how nice it looks. Stop being arrogance and act like your car is the **** because your car barely has any mods that make it stands out compare to a lot of member's cars on here. Also, you must be very ignorance to think that a newer car is nicer car. I know there are many 90s SC on this board will make your GS350 looks like a turd.
Back on topic, for the price and power, I think the new Camaro is a steal, even if it handles like crap. What can you get for $22k now a day?

It had something to do with the picture with the thread topic showing a bunch new, just-assembled Camaros in a storage lot. I saw the yellow ones as (apparent) proof that the SS model is now being built, as there was some question (?) as to whether the RS or SS models would be built first. Yellow only comes with the SS, not the RS.Rosskoss posted a Wikepedia link about robot "Deceptathons"....I don't know wy either.

mmarshall, his post had nothing to do with DECEPTION or forgeries. It had to do with DECEPTICONS - evil robot characters from the movie Transformers which destroy human beings.
It's a moot point anyway because Bumblebee (the Camaro) is an Autobot, not a Decepticon.
And just do we don't have to do a 4th round, watch this video -

Wow, so much pointless crap to sift through. And some people wonder why I get most of my information elsewhere (other than the internet)...
But I guess the topic is the new Camaro. Don't think C&D or R&T have done a full road test on any version of the pre-production or production Camaro yet, but stay tuned....

I agree with you on one thing, though......I get a lot of my infomation, too, from the drivers' seat, and my own experience with car ownership.

Even with some occasional "pointless" posts, there aren't many other car chat forums on the Internet as good as this one. If there were, I would have left long ago.

I agree, seat time feedback and ownership experience is critical for me too. I also read (and read between the lines of course) several publications including C&D and R&T. The data charts and instrumented test data is better than anything available online, with much less garbage to sift through.
