But let me be more specific.

Cars from 2016/2017 that have been introduced that are ALL NEW and NOT BEEN INTRODUCED YET. CTS V and ATS V are not ALL NEW by my definition. Ford GT is not an introduction at all, but a SHOW CAR not available for two years.

You are quoting Chicago which hasn't happened yet and a whole bunch of cars that are simply new model year introductions.

Hellcat is a 2015 model so why is that listed. You can buy that now.

And Audi R8 "leaked" is not an introduction by an OEM and should never have made your list.....other than to make it longer. We know more about the Gen 6 than we do about the Audi R8.

So, yes, a more sizable list than I was thinking. So even if you take off what is not an ALL NEW model from your list it's still pretty large.

But the question was did GM "drop the ball". No, they have not. This site is now full of people claiming GM is a fail because they haven't "clued you in" on a car that isn't going to launch for at least 9 or 10 months.

What GM has is a problem with keeping some remote interest in the Gen 5 car. Ford is already outselling Camaro with the Mustang by a HUGE margin. Kudos to Ford. So if GM makes all YOU happy (and I say you because I understand why they aren't showing the car yet and I am fine with not knowing) they risk having no one buy the current car. They will for the most part be losing sales to the Mustang AND to the Gen 6 car.

To quote the NFL MVP R.............E............L.............A........ ........X

And sadly this coming from a Lions fan
My "dropping the ball" Is by no means insinuating the car will not be all that we expect , I personally think they are doing the right thing by making sure the car is perfect before introducing it . What I meant is are they going to be able to promote the car correctly ? Of course us Camaro Fans will be there , But what about the majority of car buyers most cant tell you if it is a V6 or V8 by looking at the car , And they must have a car body ready to view by now , That is why I am thinking (i know I dont know anything about selling cars) Should they back it off a year get everything like they want and promote the car next year In LA Detroit Chicago New York etc, As is I think we wont see any in production till the end of this year at the earliest .
