Default Will you buy the new 2009 Camaro ?

Some folks seem to want a direct poll so here goes:

Given the pretty broad outline of late '08 production and no 'final' view of the new Camaro style yet and no pricing, would you still plan to buy a NEW Camaro when its available?
Its not easy Im sure without all the facts yet but based on what you've seen and read so far, if you have the bucks, would you buy it?

I seriously doubt it unless they redesign the entire car.

Cool Re: Will you buy the new 2009 Camaro ?

I don't think the real 2009 Camaro will look anything like the pictures we've seen to date.

Will I...??
If it looks like the picture below, in 2009 ...no.


..and if they use the term "Retro" in any marketing of this Camaro, I'll take it as a personal insult..

I am a Chevy guy..
..but I'd happily own the new Mustang GT or the new Challenger RT before buying the abomination above..

be honest.. these are "HOT" retro muscle cars..

I saw it on the hotrod power tour, it looks a lot better in person than a picture imo. I would buy one.

I agree with UCDOG. The new Camaro concept looks better in person than in pictures.

I will definitely buy one and after seeing it in person at Carlisle, my father will buy one too.

I'll buy one after the potential markup over MSRP is over and done with !!! I suspect (as another poster showed on e-bay...) that there will be a frenzy early on....

I had to click on "maybe". I need to see the car in person before I make a decision. Why are they making us wait 2 1/2 years for release? I'm gonna need a new car in about a year, don't know if I can put it off for 2 1/2....

I am already saving for the new Camaro. I won't pay any markups either, I can wait until that is all over. I did get to see the car upclose and it is a lot better looking in person than any pictures taken.

I already have a 68 and a 97 so this car will be the perfect compliment to the stable.

possibly IF GM could make an updated looking model like ford did with the stang and dodge with the challenger, I saw the concept at carslille and was not impressed , GM needs to open there eyes.
