What is wrong with the media??

Steve,

It's crazy guys like this that are steering the opinions of the young people in this country. Unless alternate opinions are expressed Guys like Mark have a greater influence than they should. If we remain silent on these issues the only opinions that will be heard are those of guys like Mark.

I guess there's a chance of that. I just didn't feel like this guy had enough exposure from where he is, to change anybody's opinions really. I just read it again and it surely doesn't change mine!

Exactly. It's deeper than this guy just trash talking the Camaro. You could go through the article and replace the word "Camaro" with "Purple Lawnmower", because the subject is really irrelevant. The real point of this article is that the public at large, including, obviously, all of us car guys, are too stupid to make "earth friendly" decisions, therefore, it's up to the more "enlightened" among us to guide the rest of us into the "correct" way of thinking. That's the kind of thinking that ends with all the neat old (and even some new) cars being stuck in a crusher, or having their engines removed and becoming static museum display pieces, never to move again. I don't care if this toolbox doesn't like the new Camaro. I do care that he's perpetuating the idea that I'm too dumb to think for myself.

I agree. That is the reason that I titled the post as I did. The article is less about the Camaro and more about bashing America.

The green movement targeted the Camaro about 6 months ago for hit pieces just like this one - not because the car was something different (or more pollution emmiting than say a pick-up truck) but because the car was so good that it was likely to be sucessful in sales - thus all the "tools" were taken out by the far left to paint the car as excessive, worng for the times or a "throwback".

I am glad to see the replies here. The same loons were sucessful in convincing the government to regulate lightbulbs, so soon what kind of lightbulb you can buy (mid 2010) will be regulated to compact florcesent.

BTW... I hate compact florcesent's and am stockpiling standard light bulbs that I can use in my house after that ban kicks in.

They would love to get rid of the Camaro too but first they need to demonize, isolate, polarize, and attack the target. For some the next target is cars. The kinds that we like to drive.

WOW!!! That guy is a PORK SWORD!!His parents probably drove Aries K cars. He's never been violently thrown into a fish tail in a 68 z28 in a shift from 1st to 2nd and violently smashed in the seat from second to third and by 4th your hearts racing like a lab rat on crack you dont know if you want to stop and get out or do it again. his fondest memories are of his dad over revving the 4cyl. in the Kcar and dumping the clutch as he looks over at his son with that disappointed look on his face and knows he let hin down. And till this day out of jealousy the kid still hates musclecars and writes crap articles about them cause his dad wasnt man enough to have one. Thank god theres still guys left like us and our fathers who were willing to give us all the thrill of a burnout or revving the engine of a big block nova(like my dad had) that writer needs some counselling
