Was skimming through the Camaro forums and came across this.

I'm pretty excited to see these new beasts on the road. What does everyone else think?

It will be cool to see the camaro, mustang, charger, and challengers back on the road again. Just sad that our baby is out of production. But, atleast the goat will be out there representing!

Anyones thoughts on the camaro vs gto ?

GTO JUDGE

GOOD POST!

FACT: IMO:

I am liking the Challenger more.
The Challenger will have a 2 model year jump on the Camaro.
The Challenger is to be available in the Summer 2008, with 2009's a few months behind.

GM has given Mopar a 2 model year head start with the Challenger. Just looking at that they have already conceded market share.

The hype on the Camaro has been going on forever it seems. By the time it hits the show room people will be sick and tired of hearing about it. We have to wait another year of this "foreplay" before people can drive it. Why the big tease for 3 years while their competitor is racking up sales I just don't get.

The wife's and my plans are still to hold on to the GTO until the Camaro SS becomes reasonable, when I say reasonable I mean without any markups. Between us we have owned 5 Camaro's. I can not see us not getting another Camaro. I have a Dodge truck also, all I am going to say on this is I am NOT a Mopar fan.

Another fact:

I won't be getting one. I just don't see what's so special about any of the retro styled rides. If the '04 and '06 GTO was similar to the old school goats I know for sure I would not have gotten one. I like change when it comes to autos. If I what a car with the old school styling I will get an old school car. Just not my cup of tea I guess. Maybe not seeing one in person is giving me the "blah, it's okay" feeling.

I like how the styling is different on the new GTOs vs the older ones. I love the 04-06 GTO styling. I have to admit though, the challanger does look cool. I like it better than the camaro.

I understand exactly what you're saying. The design has grown on me over time; though, and I am excited to see new muscle.

Personally for me the choices for purchase would be between a new CTS (base), a base G8, or a higher powered V6 Camaro.(no options) This being after I finish school, or the Malibu fails me.(the Malibu doesn't fail me)

Gas continues to rise at the current rate and GM might be offering a re-sized Camaro with base four bangers. A 170hp six will be the hot ticket. It'll be back to the seventies. Hang onto your GTO; it's a dying breed.
