I doubt it. This car does not have the ability to do it. It is too low in production and too low impact. Nothing will save GM exept for a string of sucesses and I think it will happen.
On the contrary, I have shown the concept to many people and they all didn't like it except for one, but that doesn't really mean much. I hope the car is a sucess but I think production numbers will be below 100k annually, after the initial rush.

You own a 93, I am betting you are a teenager. Your friends are not the target.

I keep saying it's important to get people to buy the base car. That is the lifeblood for any Camaro or Mustang...the V6 car must appeal to those who just want something sporty and practical.

Showed it to this one girl, not of the target audience but grew up always wanting a Ford Escort. Her reaction: "If you own that car, it better have a backseat if you know what I mean." I'm sold.

Well I'm 20, only car I've ever owned was a '99 Mistubishi Galant, I've never been in any generation of Camaro and I would buy this car in a heart beat.Way to go GM for making an awesome concept , now make it an awesome car and you'll be set.

The Impala, Malibu and Cobalt are really Chevy's saviors.
