I for one would like to stop seeing so many 5th gens on the road.... they're too common now.

I personally can't imagine ever wanting to part with mine, no matter what comes next. I'm curious on what they have planned to get us to move onward and upward but I'm in no hurry. This is still my dream car and most of my attraction is the styling. I waited 25 years for GM to build this car and never thought it would happen.
If I did get a newer one it would likely be a DD. I think this gen has a bit of special magic to it for a lot of people, including myself. I'll always keep this one as my toy. |

Just curiosity on my part. Having read some of the rumors I can't help but be anxious to see it. I'll be keeping mine for a long, long time regardless and I guess to some degree I'm wondering they'll come out with something so great that I'll regret my commitment to this one. Won't matter, as of a week from tomorrow I'll have so much much money in my 2012 that it will be out of the question to trade it. Maggie, ZL1 fuel pump and all going in starting Monday, but I'm still curious to see the new one.

I love how folks with the 5th Gen Camaro say they would never part with their car.. I bet when Chevy/GM comes out with a 6th Gen Z28 with incredible Stats, everyone and his brother and sister will be in line to get one and I'm sure quite a few will be trading in a 5th Gen for it... And if they produce a 6th Gen with a 7.0L(just a thought) plenty would probably be getting rid of their ZL1 too. As of last week, here in Phila., PA, I have seen so many Used 5th Gen Camaros including some ZL1s already.. I would like to see the 6th Gen arrive sooner because there are way too many 5th Gen Camaros around, they don't seem special any more...

Decrease in value?
Anyone notice that 4th gens were a dime a dozen 5 years ago, and now they are insanely priced? I passed on a few $4-5000 SS's before the 5th gen was out. Now they are $10K cars. I think ours will hold their own. The 6th gen may be a turd....never know. 1st Gen = Bad ASS 2nd Gen = Meh 3rd Gen = Excellent 4th Gen = Decent 5th Gen = Awesome 6th Gen = ? (if it has 2nd Gen style, I'll pass) Bring back the square look! IROC style!

6th gen wont be a turd cause it will be on the same paltform as the ATS, which is lighter(the biggest problem of the Camaro right now, making it slower and less fuel efficient), and it will have the new LT1; more hp/tq!!
Plus the it will probably look better! Its a big win IMO. That beeing said, its not out yet and 5th gen owner have a lot of time to enjoy their ride before its out!!
