It is ashame, but part of me kind of wants GM to cancel the Camaro instead of ruining it with their EV phase. I still feel that GM dropped the ball on Camaro's handling, but perhaps their venture into EVs will prove to be a learning experience for them. IMO I feel that we are in a sad state of affairs in terms of car enthusiasm, but sometimes one has to go through changes in order to learn. It appears that GM will end up going thru some bad times because of their poor choices.

Thanks for the info, your posts are an interesting inside perspective! What % of the market do enthusiasts make up? What % of revenue for GM is from enthusiasts? I'd love to know how the #s stack up if you have them |

I'm going to assume you mean the way Chevrolet handled the Camaro, and not the Camaro's handling?? lol

As far as the EVs are concerned, I will hold on my judgment until I can see how they are received by the buying public. I have great concern, as with the other offerings, with GM's proposal for EVs as well.

But remember...beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My wife breaks her neck to look at the Blazer just about anytime one passes us by...especially the sporty trims such as the RS and the Redline. She wants one bad lol...but it's not quite the right time for that. I can't say I blame her. I think the upcoming refresh on the Equinox is decent, and the Traverse is a nice looking ride, and even the little TrailBlazer is fairly sporty. I wouldn't say they are the best looking of their classes, but I wouldn't call them remotely ugly either...but that's my opinion.

As GM and the fedgov go all in on EV Toyota is again this week yelling at the top of their lungs that we are roughly 15 years away from any kind of sustainable EV market.
And i'm reading over on Zerohedge that initial EV maintenance for the first year or so is running 1.6 to 2.3 times as much as an internal combustion engine depending on model. Anyone sign up for that because i thought they would be maintenance free for that time frame?

Just my opinion. I do like a wheel that fills the well nicely.
