CB, just what are you implying, sir? :huh: Mr. Myers, you either sound very cool and calm about all this (unlike poor Nick), or you're very cornfused. I'm going to go with the former. Here's to you: :cheers:

Hey Camino! Just in case you missed it... Chevrolet debuted a Camaro concept at DEtroit today. It's cool too! :AH-HA_wink:

I love everything about this concept. The interior is striking beyond imagination, such a perfect blend of retro and futurism. When I surveyed the pictures at the link to Autoweek, I was absolutely slack-jawed. This is out of the park, boys.

I owned an '86, TBI 305/5 speed base model Camaro, although I admit I haven't been a huge, huge fan of the car in the final years, before hiatus. Of course, this was due to a bit of neglect on GM's part. Ford kept up with Mustang development, and it showed. But this is a new day. This Camaro concept proves that GM still knows how to wow the public and trounce the competition. The concept is simply brilliant. I would love to own a production version, as soon as you can make it happen, GM, and as close in appearance as is practical. I am in love with this car. To ensure its longterm success, of course we must start off with a lively, nicely equipped 6 cylinder version, with the latest in transmissions to back it up... 6 speed manual, or 5 speed automatic. Then, at least two V8 versions. Pricing has to come very very close to Mustang, with the undeniable extra benefits afforded by GM's powertrain and styling mastery. This concept is a stunner... an opportunity ripe for the picking. Build it, GM!

I'm a little scared. I haven't seen anything about the much better-looking Patriot lately. What gives? The Compass is way too funky for me.

A very capable and handsome machine. When do we see the four door?

Well, Lincoln has joined the crowd... in good and bad ways. I agree with those that say there isn't enough Lincoln in it. Standing alone, it is a handsome car.

It looks high and narrow. The camera angle is not flattering. Fly hit it right... another ION mimic, mixed with Maxima. They should just call it "Minimaxima". The interior is a high point... but I don't get all these dash mounted shifters. Vibe, outgoing Civic Si hatch, new Civic, Thetas, etc...

When I go to Assateague, I don't venture in too deep, up to my waist is deep enough.

I have to say... I'd like to see it toned down as well. I know I've gone pretty far myself at times, but this is over the top, if I may say so. *puts on flame suit, waits to be burned at the stake*

Whoa, y'all have gone far above and beyond...

I think it's hot, especially in GTP form, with the polished 18" wheels.

A person who wants to unwind at home after work with a joint is... a tad different than murder and rape. Hyperbole does not help your case.

I don't have 30 grand right now.

Very, very far away, I hope.

Dash, and especially the steering wheel, remind me of the new Civic. Not a flattering comparison.

Aren't you glad you've got the internet, at least? You should get them back by moaning and screaming while you... take care of yourself. I wonder if they'd get the joke. Prolly not. Nevermind.

Cash-rich Toyota can afford to hold the line on prices... right in step with GM's new lower pricing strategy. Competition will not let up. The FJ appears to be very well priced. Amongst Yari, I like the hatch. The sedan is hideous... like a monster off The Simpsons, or Futurama.

The photographic record is all that remains. That, and maybe some iron oxide.

Nothing about this car is soft. This is a ramrod, a smoking hot shaft aimed squarely at the competition. It's my kind of car.

I stand corrected. Thanks for posting, Ted! Now I get the connection.

Another mimic. This time, BMW. I guess they've moved on from Mercedes. The decklid is especially bangled. Really, it's kind of a snore. How fast do you have to go to get into 8th gear? Crazy.

God, this is turning out to be prime time to be a GM fan. The Enclave is elegant and assertive. The interior... opulent. The hardware... spot-on. Now I cannot wait to see the other Lambdas!

But... that's a bullseye grille... Dodge much? :AH-HA_wink:

You knocked its teeth out. What's wrong wif you, boy?
