Automobile magazine says of the new Camaro...

The Camaro as high-revving back-road burner: It's not exactly a familiar concept, is it? Thankfully, that doesn't stop it from being true. The Camaro's engine, transmission, steering, and suspension work together in such a way that the entire car feels engineered, not simply bolted together from spare parts. There's actual, tangible feedback from the controls, the engine is more than up to its task, and the chassis exudes a level of polish rarely seen on cars from Detroit. And topping it all off, the Camaro essentially blows away its competition - the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger seem positively primitive in comparison, a couple of rough-edged, cost-cut, sedan-derived chunks of ordinary.

After forty years of compromises and letdowns, it's nice to see a pony car that behaves the way that we've always thought one should.

It was the only model available for review.  The SS model will be reviewed shortly, keep your knickers on.

You obviously know not what you speak of.  There will not be any new Firebird.

Right now it does look too much like a mustang

And they said it again this past summer.  There will be no new Firebird.

UUMM....THEY'RE going back to a "retro" look. it looks a lot like the original camaros, which are the best looking camaros ever produced. unfortunatly for you chevy guys, it is also(once again) a copy of the ford mustang :D

the firebird was simply the pontiac version of the camaro. nothing very original

simple things get the job done best :D

what i think would make a good camaro would be for them to throw one of the corvette engines in it.

WINNER!!

what i've been saying all along. the camaro originally was in answer to, and a copy of the mustang. throughout its history it has been. this simply reinforces that fact/.
