I have been very impressed by the effort that GM and the Camaro team have made to interact and include the enthusiasts of their product. I remember how many people on Camaro5 got their shorts in twist when the Ford Mustang Boss 302 was hitting the streets because Chevy didn't quite have a bullet in the chamber for that. Three years later...the Camaro lineup will arguably eat Ford's lunch and take their milk money everyday of the week. The one thing that will never change on these forums is the small yet vocal group of people who sometimes have a sincere good intent but completely unrealistic perspective of reality. Anybody who works for a large corporation understands that GM is a business that first and foremost is trying to make gobs of money for investors. Some of the topics that keep getting dragged out are perfect examples of GM keeping the bottom line in mind. No company is going to acquiesce to a vocal minority to re-engineer a product, change product developments, or risk alienating the majority of the targeted customers all the while incurring more risk and possibly lowering the profit margin on a product.

I look at the breadth of General Motors entire lineup and continue to be impressed. Buick, Cadillac, and Chevy all have some rather stylish offerings and exciting products that reflect how far GM has progressed in the last decade. I still cringe when I think about some of the stuff that they were selling just a half decade ago...GM has come a long way.
