This is insane, looks like the auction was pulled though. GM needs to have more regulations and guidelines for dealers to follow. GM's sales would be a lot higher if more people could have a decent experience at a dealership. http://5thgencamaro.blogspot.com/2006/08/d...sits-again.html

GM Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner announced today that GM will build an all-new version of the Chevrolet Camaro sport coupe based on the award-winning concept that stole the spotlight at the North American International Auto Show and has ignited the passion of car enthusiasts around the world ever since – even spurring consumers to start petition drives and send in certified checks in hopes of placing early deposits. “The overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to the Camaro Concept continues to remind me of the uniquely i…

The new Silverado isn't terrible..........but does anybody else agree that the grill is WAY too wide? I really wish Chevy would change it.........other than that, I think the truck is really nice.

About 20 years ago, GM decided to "shelve" the GM80 program. This program was to spawn a front wheel drive, plastic body, V6 Camaro and Firebird. Its a significant turning point in Camaro History. Who knows what would have happened if they went ahead with their plans. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_..._v94/ai_4345775

Just back from Chevy's "build & price" situation, and on the 2007 Cobalt SS/SC options list is the lower-profile T43 spoiler, priced at $0. I know in years past, when new model year info was first posted, it was sometimes incomplete and even wrong in spots. I'd like to know if anyone in sales can confirm this spoiler option. I'd really like to see a spoiler delete option... or make the wing a dealer-installed thing like the ION Redline, so the customer has a chance to decline it. I saw a black '07 Redline at the local dealer, and it looks so much better with the ground effects and fat tires pulling it visually to the ground, unfettered by the wing that adds unnece…

did we have a pre website update for the montecarlo? cause on the web site, there is no 3.9L option anymore... is that going to be something later when they can make enough of the afm version to put in it? did i miss something... or is chevy just not going to offer it for 07? did it not sell well at all ( the ltz option ) ?

It says 2007 though.

http://media.gm.com/us/chevrolet/en/produc...cars/index.html They have it marked under 2007 as '07 Camaro Concept, but it was actually a concept for 2006. Hmmm.

Just a thought... GM doesn't have any alternate fuel compact in North America at the moment. Maybe there should be more engines for the Cobalt, just not running gasoline. Diesel: The 1.9L CDTI ECOTEC is readily available in Europe in the Astra. I'm sure with some modifications it'll work in NA in a Cobalt. I think it'll go nicely against the Jetta TDI. E85: The Solstice GXP Drifter uses an E85 2.0L ECOTEC, so I think that means an E85 version of the 2.2L/2.4L engine is possible. Bi-fuel Natural Gas: The Cavalier used to have it with the 2.2L LN2 and ECOTEC. It wasn't carried over to the Cobalt though. Hybrid: Maybe it's coming with the BAS system after the Aura …

Our one year old 2005 Tahoe has had a broken liftgate handle for over a month now -- according to the local Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealer that I use for service on this car, apparently GM has been using a new, cheaper liftgate handle for the last year or so, and there are like 200 backorders around the country for this specific part. The car is still under warranty, so I'm not worried about any costs, but has anyone heard anything about this? It seems incredible to me that there would be so much trouble with such an item, as this part should not have changed since the 2000 model year... What's up here?

A convertible version? Basically a range-topping spritual successor to the SSR. The engineering work would already be done for the most part, so it wouldn't be as expensive to include it, and I think a few SSR owners might trade theirs in. What does everyone think? After driving that SSR today I now want one for some reason (probably because I felt so different driving it - it's like nothing else I've ever driven), but anyways, what does everyone think?

Choices are self explanatory. For Z28 and SS just vote based on what you believe each to be.

To the rumor that the Cobalt SS Supercharged is gonna be turbo'ed in 07?

Ok here is the deal. The wife and I are in the market for an 07 Burb.... I'd LOVE to wait for the 6-speed, but we both REALLY want to get a new truck. Our Grand Cherokee is NOT CUTTING IT ANY MORE LOL. I'm looking to see if any one knows "when" it's (the 6-speed) gonna hit the Chevys and not just the "up scale" Denali and slade!!! You'd think they'd put them into the LTZ also. I can't see them not being able to get trannies for some of the suburbans and Tahoes. I've heard 08 (as in Jan 08), but I can't believe it's gonna take that long to get them into the trucks.

Scott Settlemire (fbodfather) talks about the Camaro concept, its heritage, and what it means for America. There is some very nice driving footage from the Milford Proving Grounds.

I copied this from the PDF link from another thread. Looks pretty good with the two-tone coloring and Navigation screen. The new steering wheel is a nice change too. Some minor changes to the exterior as expected.

Keep an eye out on the web tomorrow (monday morning) :AH-HA_wink:

So, I made a chop of what I hope to one day see, a Saleen Camaro (please comment on this chop's design HERE): Then I did a little Saleen S281 (Mustang) research. S281 stands for the Saleen version of Ford's 281 cubic inch 4.6L V8 in the Mustang GT. The Saleen S281's performance specs are as follows (stage: "name of stage" -- horsepower/torque): Ford Mustang GT -- 300/320 S281 Stage 1: "3-Valve" -- 330/340 S281 Stage 2: "Supercharged" -- 435/425 S281 Stage 3: "Extreme" -- 550/500 However, the Mustang only uses one V8 and we're counting on the Camaro having two from the factory. Therefore, I'm going to use the lower-end V8 for the Saleen version of our beloved 5th G…

Autoweek is reporting that when Chevy said there was no Blue Devil they were not lying. That is because it has been given the name Sting Ray. Little info was reported that we did not know already such as Carbin Fiber Hood, 600 HP, and a price at $100,000. I am sure ther will be added features over the Z06 and by the time it reaches market it will find a little more than 600 HP. Thwy alway seem to find 5-15 HP at release time. I wonder it this finally kills the Kappa idea that Chey did not need.

The new edition of Motor Trend says a Chevy Lambda will be rushed to market due to sliding BOF SUV sales. Apparently, it will pretty much be a discontented Outlook with Chevy-specific front and rear facias. They showed a rendering and it reminds me of the Cobalt/G5 disaster. Can anyone confirm this?

yes, using msn autos, it says the ss coupe is almost 200lbs lighter than the base ls coupe. anyone know why?

Looking to get info and especially PICS of old school impalas (60's-70's) that were considered the top of the line of their day. Were there any special packages back then for Impalas? Like higher HP engines, graphics packages, etc... like the Yenko cars or SS cars of that time period? Something that made them stand uot amongst the average Joe Impalas? Thanks!

Pretty good NY Times article about the Impala. I couldn't really disagree with much of what the article was talking about. It was basically talking about how the Impala is a shadow of its former self. However, the article was quite positive about the current Impala and how well it stacks up against the Asians. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/03/business...artner=homepage DETROIT, June 2 — To understand why Detroit is having so much trouble competing against Asian car companies, look no further than the Chevrolet Impala.

I went dealer hopping yesterday and visited a few friends that work at a couple of Chevy dealerships here in the area. While I was at one I noticed a 07 Trailblazer sitting on the lot with HUGE (I mean they look absolutely massive) wheels on it and as I walked up closer, I saw the SS badging. That thing really does look pretty doggone good. It was the first one I've seen with the exception of pictures around on here. So, has anyone else seen one?

Why not offer the LS7 in a detuned form as an option on the base steal framed VETTE positioned between the LS2 and the Z06 models. It could be called the 427 CORVETTE like the historical ones even though its actually 428CI's. With 475 or so HP and the heaver steal frame in NON Z06 spec it would differ enough from that HIGH PERFORMANCE model in both cost and performance. This is something I WOULD LOVE TO SEE! A new 475HP 427 NEW GEN CAMARO to go with it!

the most recent Motor trend just arrived in my mail box. There is an interesting article about the 5th Generation Camaro Convertable. It stated that GM has greenlighted the rag top. Did I miss something I didnt think the car was green lighted period. Although I do believe its being worked on already. Its good news. I just cant wait for this car to be on the lots come on GM.

Some interesting rumours. For those who don't know, there's a live action Transformers movie being shot righ now, for release in the July 4th 2007. Apparently, GM will be a big sponsor. Here's some interesting bit of info gathered at the current location: "Hey, I work out here at Holloman AFB, in New Mexico. The Transformers movie started filming here last week. Some slight spoilers Bumblebee is going to start out as a 1970's Camaro, get really f-ed up, then be rebuilt as a 2008 Camaro." Yes. 2008 Camaro.

Of course, my personal is the '73-'87 since I own one, there are three in the family, and well they are what I more or less expect a truck to be, you know?

Well today i was pleasently supprised when our GM trainer came in and discussed future products for us... First he cleanly said "you didnt hear it from me" but... The camaro will be avalible in 2008 as a 2009 year model. He also mentioned that there would be 3 engine choices those being 1 v6 and 2 v8's and the idea of borrowing the 7L, although it wouldnt be rated to have as much power as the vette, the idea was there to borrow the motor. He also went on to mention stuff about the impala next year getting AFM (this we already knew) he also mentioned that it was sent to austrailia (like we already knew) so that it would stay out of the limelight...
