Re: Motortrend - First Drive: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro V-6

I think that many people think that the Camaro will only have to compete with the Mustang and Challenger. I could be wrong, but I don't think that ALL consumers narrow their choices down that much, at leats not at first. A Camaro guy will buy a Camaro... but sonmeone who wants a sporty RWD car has more choices than the domestic three.

Look at member12's parents... they went shopping for a Malibu or Aura and ended up in a Genesis. Some people are open to see what else the market has for them. A few members here have said that they wanted a G8 or CTS but might end up in a Camaro. Die-hards only have three choices for a pony car, but there ARE other alternatives out there.

That said I'm glad that the Camaro appears to be an excellent car. Doesn't matter how much competition there is... the Camaro should be able to smoke them all!
