GM unveils 'fuel-sipping' Camaro

The 2002 Camaro was pretty.

I haven’t seen too many that really caught my eye lately...most of them are either same-old, same-old or eye catching because they are ugly.

Maybe it’s because I’m getting old. ;-)

Had an 87 Camaro that I thought was pretty nice car and it handled so well in morning traffic.

Yep we are all getting a little older but somehow my generation still has an appreciation of when there was a heck of a lot more freedom in America.

Where’s the vinyl roof?

[OKIEDOC]

Yep, thats what I'm talkin about, just fits an old vet like me to a T.

However, I have a feeling that Doc will only let me look and drool at those kinds of cars.

She says I can have anything I want as long as it has seating for her, my mother-in-law,the two kids, groceries,soccer balls, bats, toolbox and doesn’t cost much more than a Yugo.

It's to early in the morning for those kids of hilarious jokes. ROFLMBO

I had a 78 Celica I would love to have back...got rid of it because it was too small for car seats, strollers, etc...

One of the Navy guys over at the base has a Charger and it is a nice looking car.

It just looks like it needs to be driven fast.

The first generation Camaro’s exterior was a dynamite design. Every production Camaro since then has been a step down.

The same can be said about the Corvette and it morphing from the Stingray body the early 60's to the 1968 "SpeedRacer" design. Bigger is not better when it comes to sports cars. If GM had stuck with the smaller sized designs, or had even refined them down smaller, the Corvette would have become a real exotic and the Camero would have become America's answer to the BMW 3 Series.

NOBODY needs 400hp . Waste of money not to mention waste of gasoline . Are these cars ONLY going to be sold to folks who drive in the desert of SoCal ??? Hmmmm... ?

Are you a dem operative? The people buying these cars are paying for the fuel, not you. And remember, you can never have too much horsepower.

[OKIEDOC]

I hear you.

Those were nice little cars.

My father in law bought one to pull behind his motor home and it was one of the first ones in his town, it was tan with red striping.

[OKIEDOC]

I didn't know that.

I guess if I want beer money will just have to rob Hugo's main man in America Robert Big Carbon Footprint Kennedy.

[OKIEDOC]

Thats really great gas mileage.

Are you a Marxist?

[OKIEDOC]

That noise you hear in the back ground is me clapping.....excellent comment.

“Who the hell really NEEDS 400 HP ?”

Good acceleration is important to safety like good braking. And you might be carrying children in your car. So the question I would ask you is, why don’t you care about children?

[Eye of Unk]

I am on the pre-order list for one at my local Chevy dealer but I am having second thoughts, that dash is REALLY ugly, it would be a shame to have to yank it out and build my own but I would do it, its freakin terrible and I used to build show cars.

[Free Descendant]

“Are you a Marxist?”

Clearly he’s a communist who doesn’t care about children.

[OKIEDOC]

Hey, no use talking to a guy or gal that probably eats raw fishing bait for dinner.

"Who the hell really NEEDS 400 HP ? " I do!! 410 Rear Wheel HP!! Before I changed the rear end to 3:73's I had "Al Gore" 2:73's and got 27mpg. Now I get around 20mpg and run in the 11's :)~

[OKIEDOC]

Have you told the dealership that an ugly dash might cause you to have second thoughts.

We have to remember that the guys designing these muscle cars don't have the same feel for muscle cars as did Carol Shelby.

[Fresh Wind]

And just look what they did the the T-Bird!
