I've been postponed because with my wife being pregnant, keeping the 4 door Legacy and paying it off seems like a no brainer now. Now... after that's payed, a 2010 or 2011 Camaro for weekend cruising....

Heck, maybe even commuting to and from work, cause I have a feeling the Camaro is going to get better in town mileage than that fuel guzzling turbo

I'm going to need a economy/winter car this fall.
I've looked into Cobalts,G5's,Civic's,WRX's, but I'm leaning toward a SRT4.
But another part of me wants to just get a $2k dollar FWD beater for the winter. And get another RWD performance car such as the new Camaro,challenger, or maybe a '01-'02 Camaro SS to go with my T/A.
Decisions,decisions

3 years is too long to wait? Not really. But...what you are saying is that GM is producing cars right now that you'd like to own before moving towards a Camaro. That is great news you are considering General Motors. The Camaro is doing its job.

Remember the GM of yesteryear when it took them 4 or 5 years to move from concept to production?

. I dont like that, as for getting a civic i know it might be cheaper and maybe more reliable but i JUST hate Knowing that im giving my money to the Japs or whatever.

I have heard that out of $7.00 that $1.00 goes across the seas and the other 6 stays here. For Toyota its $1.00 stays here and the other 6 back over seas.

Few reasons is when it finally comes out it could look completely opposite of the concept, The prices may be to high.

If i like the camaro i might save up and buy one in 3 or 4 years. By that time the aftermarket should be good and the price gouging will be down and the bugs will be worked out. If its like the 3rd and 4th gens. then i will not worry about 15 years down the road i can buy one that looks almost identical as the 2009.

I think the price gouging is extremely likely, but thinking the car will look completely different than the concept is pretty strange IMHO. There'll be needed changes to pass safety standards and to make the thing more livable. But thinking the car will come out completely different, and making that a key reason for giving up on buying the Camaro is pretty questionable at best.

However, Cobalt SS is IMO a perfectly good and quick car & I haven't met anyone yet who didn't enjoy theirs.

I don't think Chevy will have a problem selling the Camaro you might have bought to someone else, so you both win.
