Just to revive this a bit, I had the chance today to stop by the local Chev dealers, and see if any new Camaros were there. There were two in the showroom, both black. One was a SS, the other a RS. Both marked "Sold".
A couple comments - 1. in the "real", I think the car reads much bigger than I had imagined it. It is over 190" long (same as my 535) but it just looks really BIG to me. I didn't like the black ones in the "real" as much as I like it in pictures. 2. the dash area looks (to me) junky in pictures, but in fact in reality is not so bad. Still a bit on the weird side, but not as bad as I had imagined. 3. Interior space seems cramped for such a large car.
The car does little for me, as does the Challenger. My choice of the 3 new "muscle cars" from Detroit would be the new Mustang (seems it is Car&Driver'd choice as well, in the new issue it beats the other two, with far less hp).
The 2 Camaros were beside a lightly used 2007 Corvette. That car looks much better than the Camaro, IMO. Although Ford has done well financially with the Mustang since it came out in 2005, I doubt that GM and Chrysler will do as well with their cars in this segment.
