That Hot Wheels edition looks pretty awesome. Too bad it says Hot Wheels on it. I don't know how much Mattel is paying Chevrolet, but it isn't enough.
I guess there are a bunch of kids lining up with their allowance money to buy these things, but my gut tells me it's more poor marketing. I sure hope the '19s are available in a Hello Kitty trim package. That'd really help Chevrolet tap into the remainder of the children's performance car market.

Actually, they are real people, (or at least some of them are). There was an article where a few of them were interviewed on the experience.

Pretty sure the wink means it is Friday. At least that's what I'm assuming because I'm hopeful and ready to see it. lol

Is it annoying waiting for a company to announce something people are excited about? Sure. But I don't think a few days is going to make a hardcore Camaro fan swap to the Mustang...

Generally speaking, how much should we expect to see the cost of a 2018 1SS drop after the release of the 2019 models. I'm not necessarily waiting to see if any of the refresh features attract me to a 2019, but more how the release of a new model will affect the price of the 2018s. Not sure how much longer I can wait to upgrade from the LFX

Chevrolet wasted all of the major auto shows this year on a Hot Wheels edition Camaro. Think about that for a minute.... Those auto shows are insanely expensive. How many more Camaro sales do you think they'll get? There's no chance they'll ever sell enough Hot Wheels cars to even make up the auto show costs, much less turn a profit. No matter how much they advertise that vehicle, there are only a limited number of buyers for that car. Regardless of what Mattel paid Chevrolet, they'll never recoup the lost opportunity to show off what's new for '19. Had they shown the '19s early. People would at least be able to make a decision to wait or move forward with an '18. Keeping customers in limbo can't be the best approach or all manufactures would be doing it.
