    Whatever GM does, I hope that they address some of the shortcomings of the 4th gen, like making nicer interiors, focusing on a "quiet" ride and better ergonomics. Personally, these things don't bother me much, but the general public sees them as poor build quality, and if GM hopes to win magazine tests with a car that has a history of being fairly "primitive" (live axle, OHV, big V8,...), then certain things should be fixed.

      personally i feel that the people who test drive cars (like in car a driver or consumers guide) look for comfort and style and the camaro is mostely focousing on power making sure the driver feels the road and can hear the engine and the power its making

        oh lord....i want an LS2 and a new f-bod would be sweet. As long as chevy doesnt slightly change the cavalier and put a v8 in it and call it a camaro...like pontiac turned a grandprix/grand am into a gto....IMO they ruined the GTO.

        man....it would just be like christmas all over again..

          Personally, I want a new 5.7 Hemi Cuda. If Dodge made it, they would sell like crazy. The new Mustang, although aesthetically better, is the same 'ol ****. We shall see what the General does in '07 and '08. If they don't pick up the program by then, I will be switching to Dodge...Cummins Diesel 3500 for my pickup and the new Dodge Magnum as my daily driver! The front of the Silverado is as ugly as sin so I won't drive it and the cars are lack-luster since the end of the B-body and F-body...I like the GTP and Bonneville ...just hate FWD. The C5 and C6 is all that is left. I don't know what they will bring back...probably keep building those stupid luxury SUVs and trucks. We have three to four years before the new RWD debuts ...it is all speculation until then. Although, the GTO is a good start. If the front suspension was better and it was a little bigger like the 60s GTOs, I would think about it.
