Yep, price is what killed the Camaro and Firebird. That and the T/A's over-the-top styling. That car screams, "PULL ME OVER! I am a sixteen year old experiencing major testosterone poisoning!" One automotive magazine called it a "stylistic felon." What it demonstrated was GM's disdainful caricature of its customers.
True, those things were atrocious. They should've come standard with a mullet haircut, Led Zep IV cassettes, and on the radio, Bud bottle caps instead of knobs.Last week I read that Pontiac/GM was bringing back the GTO. If they can do as good a job with that as Ford did with the Thunderbird, I'd think of buying one. Until then, I'm completely satisfied with my F-150, and completely heartbroken at the loss of my first true love, a 1972 Porsche 911 T. Targa, of course.
