And in keeping with GM's typical corporate image, sales wont be part of the plan either.

Well yes in a way. According to Scott S. Camaro cannot exist with a sales base of aging baby boomers, (that is us BTW...) so to make the new roll out a success a larger buying demographic is being targeted.

We may not like everything we see - but perhaps someone who would otherwise buy a Nissan will choose Camaro instead.

That is how America and Chevrolet will win back market share.

We did not loose the market for cars overnight , and I suspect we will not win it back overnight either, and to complicate matters it is not just a US market. It is Global.

Cannot wait for the later introduction of the Z-28 and the Vert.

No Z, I believe...will be the 2 V6 models and then a jump up to the SS...which sucks, 'cause the lighter Zs were a better performance base...and the new Camaro platform is friggin' HEAVY.

GM and Settlemire was real clear on how the car would be promoted, and Challanger/ Mustang style commercials with big burn outs are not the image GM wants for the current roll out.

[/ QUOTE ]
Welp, there goes my dream of GM doing a "Super Stock" version of the Camaro, ala ChryCo & FoMoCo...

The Mustang & Challenger guys get burnouts & performance driving, and us Camaro guys get a cartoon that makes no sense?

I am hearing that the Z will be a mid year intro just like '67, with a brand new engine application for a car like the Camaro.

Scott and GM are 180 out on the way Mustang and Challanger are being currently pitched.

This means no public burnouts for the new Camaro and this has to do with the competing brands that are selling now and how they are promoted. Imports.
