Once I get home I'm going to try to pull together my synopsis of the weekend. 20 hours of driving home gives me a lot of time to reflect on what we saw, heard and discussed.
I had the privilege of sitting beside Tom Peters during supper on Saturday. One of the interesting comments he made was that the debate within GM on topics like SS vs. Z28 & Z28 vs. Z/28 was just as passion filled as the discussions that take place here.

Sounds like a fun weekend Art. I'm jealous!

Actually what worked best this time was all the time we had to talk. GM anted up a reception dinner Friday and a dinner Saturday. We spent hours having informal discussions.
Most importantly, they were candid, honest conversations. Nothing was held back from either side. They were excellent exchanges.
Inan attempt to sum it up in some way. From everything I heard and saw, I had one single disappointment... and believe me, big picture wise, it was a minor detail.

was pricing ever discussed during this meeting?
if yes, how would you rate your feelings about pricing, based on what info they could give you, on a scale of 1 - 10.(1=not pleased at all, 10=very pleased)

Hhhooooolllld up.......hold up.
There were....FOUR cars there? And one was black, one was silver, and one was....RED? OK, I'm convinced; the Camaro definitely is going to meet our expectations and most certainly bring us to the showroom floor with our checkbooks in hand.

Just to show the level of faith i have in the new camaro team and chevrolet in itself. My BIGGEST fear with this car is that in order to get a white car, im going to be forced to get tan interior. Now im thinking, if my biggest fear comes down to color combonations, i will probably be more than pleased with the outcome of the new camaro. Even if i have to buy another color

Im crossing my fingers that the fourth was either the emerald green metallic from the first gens or sunset orange metallic from the third gens.

Nothing new, just competitive with the Mustang. They probably haven't determined pricing yet. I believe they do not until closer to the release of the car.
Yep...red. It looked pretty good in the red that it was in, too.

Do they have all the colors for the Camaro picked out? If so how many colors can we expect?
I agree with whomever said they dont want to get stuck with white/ tan interior....i hate tan interior on a white car... I hope we can mix and match and have a broad range of choices.
Color choices could be very important factor for some people.
Will they offer Plastic Thermoforming Injection Molding????????
