i voted depends, on price etc...
Exactly. I hope GM can do something about the inevitable "dealer market adjustment" (i.e. MARKUP) that's gonna happen when this car becomes available. I still remember when the Corvette ZR-1 came out in 1990 - dealers were charging $20-30K over sticker (and people were actually PAYING it :eek: ), which I found interesting because a couple of years later, dealers could barely GIVE those cars away.

That's the biggest thing that I think will keep people away from the Camaro right away, unless you've got ALOT of money stashed away for the markup price - I hate to rain on anyone' parade, but it's GONNA happen, I'm sure of it. :mad:

Considering they're planning to sell 150,000 units a year, I doubt the dealers will be able to justify a markup.
I hope you're right... but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

You really think they'll sell 150,000 of these a year? Seems a bit optimistic in my book. Last time they sold over 100,000 units was in 1995... alot has changed since then. I know the Mustang has been selling about 150,000 a year, but it also didn't take a 7 year "hiatus" like the Camaro did. Plus the new Challenger is gonna give the Camaro alot of extra competition along with whatever Ford has in store for the Mustang in 09... it'll be interesting to see how it does, that's for sure. Guess time will tell.
