Default I am in love: 2010 Camaro

Its been a long time since I have posted here....especially after I sold my 2006 GS300 last year...

But, this new 2010 Camaro is really making my heart pump a little faster....The car has a presence that i have not seen in a long time.

Do me a favor...go to Chevrolet.com and build one...I just built a 1SS, RALLY YELLOW with BLACK STRIPES and RS package and a BLACK with INFERNO ORANGE STRIPES w/RS PACKAGE.

I am waiting from a quote from the dealer with my 2007 CAMRY as trade in... MY wife wants a MINI...she has to wait

What a car!

I have built several on the site and the SS with RS package is simply amazing! I just had twins so no coupes in my near future, but if I were in the market, the Camaro would be it!

You have a tough choice on your hands between the Yellow and the black with the Inferno Orange Stripes. Personally I like the Black/Inferno because then you can get the black/inferno seats!

Exterior is decent, I built one as well and I still think that interior is incredibly cheap for a $37,000 car.

I love the Camaro too for its looks and performance but the interior really turns me off big time.

It's a car that I would buy as a toy when I have a 10-car garage and $50 million in cash to throw around some day...

Me too! So I went ahead and built a genesis coupe 2.0t. Just a couple simple mods away from 300+rwhp anyways. The interior made me cross over from chevy to hyundai

My first car was a 91' RS, and my second was a 93' Z28. When I was 16-18 I didn't care about the little details. I can honestly say that it seems as though they just don't put much innovation into the design of the interior. They could have been more creative and made it much more appealing without spending anymore money on the materials-although I think materials need upgraded as well.

Being that my interests in cars has changed, I don't think I'd buy another Camaro, regardless of the interior. I'm not totally sold on the exterior design yet, but I am a fan of the horsepower.

You know i can respect that I am posting in a Lexus forum so the C"cheap interior" comment are expected. But i disagree. Starting from High School, I always had Acuras, Toyotas and Lexus vehicles and never even looked at domestic because of value, looks and the fact that they didn't offer anything. But check out some pictures below. I fail to believe that the pix don't cause you to change you mind. A well equipped, Mean looking, 306HP-V6 with 29mpg for $30K!

I am seriously considering trading my Camry for it.

It's really is a great redesign!!! Anyone here think the side profile shot has a AUDI A5 look to it.
It's about time GM put this car out. This is a great bang for the buck car.

It is a nice looking car and will definately check it out. Ummm...why does it look so, 'thick' or large or bloated? It does not have a lean sporty look.

Anyway, still nice.

I agree the interior looks cheap, especially the gauge area. The exterior design is simply amazing and the HP numbers and the MPG all looks great. Maybe thats will make up for the cheapo interior
