I remain confused why GM is losing ground. The Malibu is great car, superior to the Camary at a lower price, Buick is one of the highest rated cars, Silverado remains the pickup that defines the top of it's class, the Corvette is arguably the best sportscar for the money, outperforming cars costing twice as much or more.
The new Camaro will be even more proof that the American engineers at GM are the world's best at achieving a set goal. It stunned me when we bought our Corvette back in 2002. It got an honest 28mpg highway with 2 people, luggage, and an average speed of 70mph. It blistered the local dragstrips with 11.9 second ET's with nothing but a tire change, and it tore up the AutoX track, cutting better laps than Vipers or AWD Porsches (GT2?).
But for some reason GM sucks at selling cars/trucks. Here GM, let me give you some help:
opening shot, Aircraft Hanger at night, flashing red lights, and interior hanger lights. Nobody and no planes around. Fades slowly.
Flash to red Camaro SS ripping past camera at top speed. Brief shot.
Flash to black Camaro SS sliding around corner at roadrace course. Brief shot.
Night shot again. Headlights turn on aimed at camera. New Camaro pulls forward slowly and pulls into very well lit A&W burger joint parking lot with lots of hotrods and young attractive people milling about, and they turn their heads when the Camaro pulls up and revs it's engine...
Secrets out. This is what was in the hanger at Area 51.
426 tire shredding horsepower, 26 miles per gallon highway, classic good looks.
A modern musclecar for the new generation.
Zoom, zoom, zoom my ass.
Flash to monster burnout on aircraft runway
The Chevrolet Camaro is back. With a vengence.
