Thanks for posting..a very entertaining read

 

I cant believe that many people asked, "Hey is that the new Camaro?" Are you serious!!!

I love this article. I think I just fell in love with Hemi orange again.

 

Entertaining article. Thanks for sharing it. I agree with you joeyr, how can anyone get these two confused, they look very different.

 

I think the retro look of the new Challenger looks more like the original Camaro than the new Camaro does. Lots of "casual observers" out there are more familiar with the original Camaro than the original Challenger. They've heard that Chevy was bringing out a new Camaro, they see a cool new retro-looking car and they think it's the Camaro.

Imagine how dissappointed they're going to be when they see the actual new Camaro!

 

But doesn't this also indicate a lack of marketing and advertisement...

 

Yes, absolutely. I think they are taking the position of not advertising until they have a product to sell. With the '08s a sellout, they can't offer a buyer anything until September.

I think, at least I hope, we will see plenty of advertising this Fall. I think they know they have a winner so they'll want to strike as soon as the iron is hot.

In the meantime, they're using the auto media for free advertising to pretty good effect so far.

 

Transformers...the movie!

 

EXACTLY, you have seen the camaro, I dont see how you could get them confused.

Also the link know has a video up as well.

 

No, because when people saw the 300C when it first came out, R&T (or maybe it was C&D) said that people constantly confused it with a Bentley and the 300 sells fine. Also remember that this guy that was indicated was driving a CTS and was probably a GM fan so he probably only focuses on GM anyways.
