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/.

Well, it looks like the "copy" trounces the original.

Stings, don't it?

What happens when GM merges with Chrysler?  Will the Camaro become the new PT Cruiser?

They test drove a pre-production mule and liked it.  I don't believe Ford is tucking their tail and running because of one warm review.

Holy crap you Ford guys get butt hurt easy.  This is going to be fun!

By the way, that was one of 3 reviews, the others being Car and Driver and Kelly Blue Book that said the same thing.  Oh, it's a 99% engineering correct "test mule" so the production cars are going to be even better.  Yes, I know KBB isn't an automotive journal authority but still, you guys are fun to jack with.

Camaro:G8 = Challenger:Charger. Another near legendary name applied to a sedan with some doors cut off.

Hubs, it's been that way since the intro of the Mustang in '64.

Yep, and that's like saying the Bullitt Mustang sucks but I'd kill to drive the original.

heh......doesn't sting me.
what'll sting, is the kid that has one, and gets beaten by a big fat ugly red car with a  sticker in the back window that says "honk if parts fall off" :rofl


 i don't know what chevy's pricing them at, but i'm fairly sure that to get a decent stang, you're in the 40k range?
 not willing to spend that on a car. not with the dimwits driving around here.
 my dakota got hit while it was parked in philly last month.....by a drunk woman. my taurus got hit the day the dakota was done. the taurus was parked at my shop. and the frigin dope backed the eff up, making it worse! had that been a brand new mustang.........or any brand new car................ :mad:

Call it a two door G8 then- don't insult us. The only reason it's called a Camaro is because calling a turd a chocolate bar sells more turds to idiots. Enjoy your chocolate bar.

Wasn't the original Mustang just a rebodied Comet?
