Default RE: GM To Reveal Camaro Plans This Week

ORIGINAL: bored out

I think that production of the Camaro will produce even stiffer muscle car competition. This is a good thing for the customer.

Is the Camaro / Challenger really being built to target the "Aging Baby Boomers"? I'm Gen X and I love it, I actually think that sentence should be that the Camaro / Challenger is being built for the "Aging Baby Boomers Wallet." lol

I guess it is true because every new Mustang I see has an old man puttzing around in it, lol.
I don't know, I see people of all ages driving them. The thing is a good portion of people in Generations X & Y are currently raising families or they just drive Honda Civics with exhaust systems the size of coffee cans. The question is if GM wants to do it right or wrong. If they want to do it right, they will offer the less expensive engines for the lower levels, meaning they will either offer the 3.5L or 3800 series III as the base engine instead of the 3.9L DOD VVT. A version of the 5.3L to compete against the GT instead of having a base V6 then jumping to the 6.0L Corvette spec engine for the Z28 while missing the middle ground.
