Default Sat in a 2010 Camaro today

Poked my head in the Atlanta Auto show to see what I though of the new Camaro in person. Didn't like it at all honestly, felt WAY too bulky, awkward, and hard to see out of. I love the G8s though, think I got the woman talked into getting rid of her Accord for one of these when the used ones get cheap.

I'd honestly take one of the turbo Cobalts before I'd buy a Camaro, and I've owned over 20 Camaros. That's sad considering what a Camaro freak I am.

I said that until I sat in it.... I was going to save up and get a 2011 3SS, but I hated it.

seen one in person also and didnt really like them(i didn't sit in one though) the lines and style of the inside just looked off like they tried to make it futuristic with the controls and gauges and just missed on the look... also the rear end looks extremely plain in person to me

I agree, don't like what they did w/ the rear lights at all!!! I think they wanted a Vette look to the lights, but square. Ya know, so it'd be a modern take on a classic.

Instead, I'd have liked to see the long lights like they had in '69.

I really like those turbo Cobalts. My bro just laughs at me. I got to drive a Cobalt SS s/c version at the Tech Ctr. I thought the power was decent for a 4cyl, but I think it was in need of a tune to bring it alive. Darn electronic chokehold. That was 205hp, now it's a 260hp w/ turbo. If my situation was a bit different( not broke & a house), I'd get rid of my 89 c1500, & get a Cobalt SS.
And yes, I love Camaros.

I think they look like ****. The only reason I'd be getting one is for the drivetrain and that's way too much money to spend on a 2 ton pile of crap with a cool motor in it.

I agree with those that think they missed the ball with the new camaro. They are 4 years too late and they missed the ball with the styling.

I would love to own a new Camaro. I've already chose the 3.6l 6-spd man trans, RS Package, and let Flaco do his thing... And of course white.

I am so tired of seeing the Challengers on the road with their big fat *** hanging in the air
