  1. Yeah... if I was to overlook the B-pillar in the 5th gen. Camaro it would be at least

    be in an enjoyable and unique interior but the Challenger's is quite generic.

    Okay, so we were able to pull one positive comment out of him.

    Seriously. Its a sweet car with nice lines & a progressive overall shape. The fact that the interior has a nicley retro touch is pretty cool too. Couple that with a car that rides, drives, handles and hauls A$$ makes it pretty darn good car (Id say).

    Enjoy it for what it is. You dont have to buy one. And if you do, Ill throw in a SawZall.

  2. Sorry guys....

    It's just soooooooo stupid. It pisses me off to no end knowing

    an even less "safe" and less structurally soud convertible will

    be released shortly that will have 100% of the components in

    the rear 1/4 that a hardtop requires. he window regulators &

    beefed up B-post/rear 1/4 are all going to exist and are there

    waiting to e utilized.

    :fryingpan::banghead::duh:

    If GM made it an option, even at the cost of a few hundred or

    a thousand dollars, Id never bitch again because we'd all have

    our cake and get to eat it too.

    And this WAS absolutely going to be a NEW car I was goign to

    buy... I've been saying since 1998/9 that a 5th gen. retro

    Camaro is my DREAM car. A

    Some of you guys who have been on this forum as long as I

    have must remember my constant insistance that I beleived in

    my hert of hearts a 5th gen. Camaro is just around the corer &

    that it WILL be 1st gen. retro. I was told by many, on and off the

    internet that I was naive/stupid/foolishly optimistic.

    I made it my crusaide to write GM and bombard them with info.

    proving that a 5th gen. Camaro was just what the doc. ordered

    to wake up GM/Chevy. I just never realized they'd ONCE again

    water it down and sell out to Nader/Toyota driving masses. <_<

    Un-real. If the car didn’t have a "B" pillar you'd buy one with your lottery winnings. But since it does, you'll trash GM for making the best looking car it is ready to produce in recent memory....with an ungainly "B" pillar. That feature alone does not make it look watered down, nor resemble anything Toyota'ish. If you would like to see watered down check out the interior photos of the concept Challenger VS the production car.

    Oh! Just an observation, the Mustang and Dodge Challenger both have B pillars. Dodge hid theirs on the exterior pretty well, however it looks cheap once inside the car.

    This just goes to show that (no matter how great it looks outside, inside, coupled with the fact that this car will handle very well…..PLUS ride and drive comfortably…..AND burn rubber all the way from daycare to work…..) you can’t please everyone. Ill take mine in bumblebee yellow.

  3. Terrible. GM Cannot afford any more badge engineering. Also with the current strategy to lump GMC, Pontiac Buick into one dealership umbrella, Cadillac, Saab & Hummer into one outlet, Saturn & Chevy as stand alone they do not want re-badged cars sitting in the same show room.

  4. OK, I see the difference. It sure looked alike, but upon looking at it the second time, it WAS a bit smaller and a bit different.

    My bad.

    Yep. At least for this generation of cars, the G-8 is a preview of the new family "face" of Pontiac (so to speak). I predict the next generation will undergo a design renaissance.

    GM has a lot going on. Chevy & Buick are undergoing a make over. Cadillac & Saturn are starting the second generation of their new found design direction and now the focus is (thankfully) shifting to SAAB.

    I fear, though, that the new Cafe standards hold the fate of this brand......
