2010 After 40 Years

The 2010 Camaro couldn't come at a better time, when the American car industry needs a kick in the pants.

I've waited forty years since I last owned my 1969 Camaro 327 silver sports car; My first sighting of a new 2010 Camaro was a few months ago, driving in Ventura County and it suddenly crept up upon me driving up the Conejo grade. In the distance it was a hazy image of a muscle car - And when, it came closer the front end definitely reminded me of the Camaro sportster I once owned & drove about in L.A.

It was a real jolt to watch the new Camaro cruise by me with it's Cadillac engine humming and my car standing still at 60 miles per hour. I'll definitely test drive & buy the new 2010 Camaro when they hit the Dealer showrooms in Southern California.

Buy American Cars!!!

Buying a car is like getting married. I'm still in love with my beautiful wife and my 1963 corvette. They have been by far my best investments. Please let me know when a crappy Toyota from 1965 reach a 100,000 dollars in an auction.

Shelby of SC writes why should we save Detroit when the textiles were let go? OK so Shelpby, we should KEEP making mistakes and let ALL of America business go elsewhere? Are you even an American or a foreiner pretending to be an American? Also you state that your favorite car has been a Volvo? Well sweetheart, that is owned by FORD! So you just contrdicted yourself with out even knowing it, you like American cars when you thought you didn't. Why do you think Ford has more 5 star crash test ratings than anyone else with 18 vehicles (tied with Volvo). The next closest is Toyota with 1/2 as many with 9.

LMR of CT, just because a subaru is made here in the states does not make it American. Where was it designed, engineered, tested, where do the profits go, where were most of the components made? Final assembly is just part of the picture, wake up!

Everyone educate yourselfs, it is TYPICAL that people have the perception that foreign is better when in fact that is not always the case, especially when it comes to cars. One useful website is http://www.levelfieldinstitute.org/ go there and see for yourself how many people each company employs and how American each car really is.

Why should we help Detroit?

I come from what was once the textile capital of the world, Greenville, SC. No one cared when that went overseas and thousands of people lost jobs here. No one came to the rescue to help people in this region.

Detroit should've made more reliable, cheaper cars if they wanted to keep up with Japanese auto makers. My mom has both a G6 and a Honda Civic, she loves both, but prefers her honda because of speed, dependability, and gas mileage. I've driven both American and foreign cars. My favorite that I've driven would have to be the Volvo that I had. I never had problems with it and when it was involved in a wreck, it held up beautifully, as well as the Honda Civic my mom has. Its all about dependability, reliability, gas mileage, and cost. American made cars are generally more expensive than their foreign counterparts.

Also, owning and maintaining a business is all about competition and management. If you can't make something of equal quality and price then it is not the consumer's fault. They want to spend their hard earned money on something decent. Businesses go bankrupt everyday. Yes, this is a big business we're talking about but same rules apply. If you can't produce an equal product then you're not meant to make that product. They got themselves into this mess and if they can get themselves out then that'll be for the better and will save Americans money.

Screw Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, etc. etc. etc.

Screw Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, etc. etc. etc. Let's just shut the doors on all American industry and let Asia continue to buy up huge chunks of American real estate. Thank God I don't have too many more years to watch the total demise of our once great country. Wake up, America.
