From the side i must admit it looks good, but from the front and rear it looks like a plastic toy. Not worth the $ and 23mpg is pretty crappy this day in time. Ok you say 23mpg is ok because it's a V8, but what about 26mpg for a V6?????
July 21, 2008 9:11 pm
not worth $19000? what were you expecting to get for $19000 a new yaris?
July 21, 2008 11:22 pm
I've seen the concept in person and I must admit it's a stunning looking thing.
Of course it all fades away after you sit behind the wheel and smell the plastics, but yeah, if you don't give a drop about your environment, and you like respiratory deseases just as much as you like being the sextoy of some Middle Eastern Oil Exporter, this is the car for you!

The designer, Sangyup Lee, is amazingly talented - the sketch to photoshop rendering puts some 3D renders to shame!

It looks good; stayed true to the concept; even to the interior. Great interior; a lot better then the junkie interior on the new Challenger.
July 21, 2008 9:16 pm
The engine with Cylinder Deactivation technology is a stroke of Genius. Good power with economy ability. Goodstuff. The car looks great, it doesn't puss out from concept form, the engines are all good for what they are. Its looking good here.

This is good and all, but where do I put my iPod? JK:D Great job on the remake. Tough to decide which is nicer though Camaro or Challenger.
July 21, 2008 11:48 pm
OK, but try to imagine how nice would be an LS7 and LS9 engines from Corvette! 500 and 640 hp!!! huh

And this is the reason why American car sales are slumping... because your manufacturers are modelling their cars on a block of wood and having pathetically efficient truck sized engines...
July 22, 2008 6:47 am
300HP oversquare V6's are truck engines? Thanks for letting me know! Now, you should tell Toyota and Honda and Nissan...
July 22, 2008 8:32 am
hmm even with the "truck sized" 6.2 liter v8. It sounds a lot more fun then a 400hp twin turbo and tuned 4 banger. Especially when it comes to low rpm torque, longer life, proven design, and cheap to fix when it eventually does break. Compare this car to any other car with 400 hp and if they do get 30mpg, then the variation in fuel cost will take many many years before the cost difference between vehicles is made up. The more I think about it, the more I want this car.

The Chevy small block was a performance engine well before it was a truck engine buddy. That comment just reflects your ignorance. If is one thing Americans like about American cars is the V8s. there are too many of them left anymore so maybe thats why theirs sale haven't been steller. Nice looking cars with V8s have always sold well. Its when American manufactures stooped down to the rising suns 4 banger level that they hit trouble. The V8 Camaro will sell just fine despite gas prices. Where are u from anyway "roger". I hope its not America. I can understand why you said that if you were from some other country. And as for you "radmeister" how bout you stick a turbocharger on a 6.2 liter V8 and see what happens to your rice burner. Theres no replacement for displacement its just physics. More air and gas is always gonna make a bigger bang.

great looking car, and with a much better interior than a challanger, I think even the upcoming mustang will not stand a chance with it.
July 22, 2008 6:47 am
It looks great... fantastic car, i hope it cames to Europe... i love this car since they came out with the prototype... but the comercial version is so good like the prototype... great job chevrolet.... congratulations

WOW what a car! To all you who simply can't appreciate this car, you simply don't understand. You couldn't even come close to understanding what it takes to design a car that has to: 1. Live up to its heritage; 2. Satisfy several different groups of buyers; and 3. Make every competitor's car pale in comparison in every aspect.
Kudos to everyone at GM who made it happen, and resemble the concept so closely. Add the legendary Z28 model the following year, get the cars onto the dealer lots, and do something to prohibit dealers from adding those scam "Market Value Adjustments" (threaten to take away their Camaro allocation if necessary!), then pat yourselves on the back for a kickass job! Great work!

I think I would prefer to see more engines in muscle cars like the BMW 4.4 V8 turbo with 401hp and 600nm of turque rather than an extra 1.8 litre on top. I'd be impressed if the 6.2 produced 563hp and had 841nm of torque but....

RIP OFF OF BMW ANGEL EYES. This thing will be in the scrappers 10 years from now.
