I'm betting GM thought that it's loyal Camaro followers would gladly come out of their pockets with this new car. They planted their guys here on these forums, car meets, and shows to try and bring that personal touch to the masses. They got the pulse of what people wanted but they didn't assume correctly that their loyalists would not eagerly trade up for the new model because they knew what the past customers said they wished their current cars were/had etc.. They were wrong in assuming there would be a mass defection.
I've noticed how many of the big wigs that use to frequent this site and post frequently no longer do that, perhaps because they don't want to take the heat from this forum. We barely hear from them now...and when they do speak publicly they make a statement and then disappear.
Ironic and telling...
I'm sure they're waiting on the new models to come out and show the world how much they've improved on performance but are people willing to pay for the asking prices/profit margins for them is the real question.
What is also telling is how they're basically telling customers they want to make more profit per car which means whoever purchases one is going to pay big time. There are a few people who are going to pay for it but the majority of us will not.
I can't wait for them to get back on the forums to read their posts concerning the current state of affairs...because it's alarmingly bad.
