Oh Linda, you will just die when I tell you this. My next door neighbor, the fireman, Nolan, you won't believe what he bought yesterday. A 1967 bronze Camero!!!!! Man is that thing beautiful!!!!!!! I offered to drive it around town for him, but he didn't take me up on it!! Drive by and see it, you won't miss it!

I tend to like both the new Camaro and Challenger...however I am a Corvette man so neither really compare :)

Honestly... I prefer the new style Camaro over any previous model of the Camaro. But... with that said... I want the new Challenger! (I've always been a Dodge/Chrysler person)

My husband is just about to die over this car. He is already talking about buying one when they come out. We just painted his 91 Chevy Camaro Z28 and we are currently redoing the inside. All that is left is to recover the seats. We should be finished in time for him to get a new one! :roll:

my personal opinion of the mustang is that it looks like someone stuck a straw somewhere and inflated it just a tad too much. the car is too much plastic. no thanks.

but enjoy yours!

Unfortunately, that's true of pretty much all "American" cars these days, alicia. :lol:

I don't know why the Big 3 can't get some decent designers. My current Lincoln LS will most likely be my last American car for a long while.

Good choice. I'm currently considering moving to either a Volkswagen Jetta TDI (cheap and fun to drive) or a Volvo S40 (more expensive, decent gas mileage, very fun to drive) for my next vehicle at the moment. A purchase is probably another year or more down the road though.

We are talking about American Muscle cars not luxury cars, foreign or domestic. Your comparing apples to oranges. Both of the models above have GREAT muscle car lines and that is what makes them special. I own both a corvette and an Acura TL and without a doubt the Acura is the better built car....but it doesnt compare to fun and excitement my 04 Z06 corvette offers!!!!!

i like muscle cars too, but wouldnt drive a corvette (dont consider that a muscle car anyway), the new camaro, the new challenger, or the new mustang. come up with a new revision of a real muscle car that's decent and i'll drive it. meanwhile, i'll stick to my orange, i mean my lexus.

Well they sure sell a helluva lot of them. Is Lexus considered American?

there are several plants in Japan and one in Canada, but I guess that's my point. I'll take fine engineering, comfort, and style over American anyday as long as GM continues to build mediocre stuff.

I'm glad that they are bringing back the Camaro. I couldn't be more pleased, just that it's coming back. I hope they improved what's under the hood since the old one.
