man I am glad to see the camaro come back. I hope they stick with that design, it gives that old yet new look like the mustang. I think american carmakers are finally giving designs that are alot more attractive than previous years. I also like the new ford fusion. Just wish it had a manual tranny option. But this camaro is going to be a beast. And over 30mpg at highway speeds is awsome.

all bc of their fuel management system they are puttingon all of their v-8 models which means they run on 4 cylinders in stead of 8 at a cretain speed i.e. highway speeds.

Nice to see GM canada get something to use their factories for instead of laying off people.

I was hoping for a Firebird too. Oh well. I'll take what I can get.

Great news for Oshawa, I've always thought they built good stuff there. I'm glad to see there is continued interest in that location, they deserve it - IIRC didn't GM say they're closing the second Oshawa plant (and cutting a shift at this one) as part of their whole slashing thing they have going on? Glad to see that some of these cars we've been hearing about are coming as well.
