At least 45K for an SS, which will price it above a G35 but still less than a Challenger SRT8 and much less than a Corvette (here). This will make Canadian buyers green with envy and red with rage as Americans get offered the same car for 30 grand. Same as with every other car on the market. That doesn’t factor in the first-on-the-block dealer tax.

To be fair, the new Malibu was a pleasant surprise, and as usual the Silverado is class-competitive.

Hey, might as well get my tax dollar’s worth.

You literally get everything with the 2SS…

So, a 2SS with the RS package should run $35-$36K before the inevitable dealer markups. That’s pretty much on par with a nicely optioned Challenger R/T.

I think I’ll wait a year to see if GM is in better fiscal health before buying. And by then, the two options I want- a Corvette-style HUD and backup assist- should be available. Still waiting on word of a proper nav system, though… screw OnStar…

I.e. you’re paying for the bailout whether you buy the Camaro or not, so you might as well if you want it.

I would love one, but unless I get a monster raise there’s no way I could mentally justify blowing cash on a muscle car.

I’ll defintely be checking these out, as long as the shite doesn’t knock the fan over.

After the first year, a base Camaro will be very tempting. A 300 HP direct injection V6, rear wheel drive with IRS, 6-speed manual, power locks, windows and mirrors, air conditioning, 6 airbags, abs. What else does a non-effete person need (Costco sells GPS)? This undercuts the Z by $7K, the G37 6MT by $14K, and the Hoondai V6 by probably $4-5K.

GM is probably hoping to upsell buyers to the “dubs”, but I’m sticking to the base 18″ heritage steel wheels (which will probably be the best looking; the 5 spokes look ridiculous on the retro Camaro).

The sunroof will be tempting, but I can go without.

I can’t wait until the Chevy newspaper ads have Camaro’s listed for $19,995* (*model number xxxxx only), with the hope that customers can be upsold. I’ll be the cheap German that comes in and takes that one base model.

The only risk is that the CAW workers won’t be bolting things together properly while their contract in being renegotiated under Ch. 11.

The Camaro SS is priced in the modern muscle sweet spot and is the best Chevrolet product next to the Corvette.

Style, quality, heritage, thoroughly Chevrolet and American attitude, every Chevrolet small and large should exude what the Camaro does.

The HEMI Dodge Challenger R/T starts at $29,995. The Charger R/T is the same. The Pontiac G8 GT now starts higher than the Camaro SS.

The Mustang GT remains the cheaper V8 alternative but good luck finding a stripper Mustang GT at dealerships and it’s still saddled with a buggy axle and cruddy interior. The big question mark for it’s revision will be the price and what kind of new V8 it’s packing.

Make mine a 1SS, manual, blue with heritage stripes and the 1LE option when it’s released later this year.

Of course, back in high school, I had a 1969 Firebird 400 ragtop, back when they were crappy used cars, not collector’s items. (boy I wish I had my friends brothers 442 now !)

Watch for this to be a 10k markup. It was good enough for the Mugen Civic I saw in a dealer a few months back.

There is also a better equipped V6 model, the LT.

How can this be any cheaper to produce than the previous version?

I’m excited to ride or drive the new one. My parents have a ‘94 convertible with the best engine and chassis/driveline wise it is an excellent car. Ergonomics-wise for me it is a disaster. I am a big guy and I fit better in my VW than I fit in their Camaro.

A Corvette engine, back seat, RWD, and a 6-speed stick for $31k and you’re irked by the interior eh?

I’m just giving you a hard time, but come on man!
