It’s very likely that if GM does announce that they are building the next Camaro, people on boards like this will know the details long before most salesmen bother to become aware of it!

In late 1978 I was ready to order a brand new, Black/Gold 1979 TransAm and went to the largest Pontiac dealerships in the Seattle area to order it. At the time, I owned a 1976 50th Anniversary Black/Gold TransAm, of which there were less than 3,000 made (only about 600 with T-Tops). The idiot SALES MANAGER of this dealership argued with me for 20 minutes claiming the GM never produced the car I owned and had with me that night.

Needless to say, I left that dealership and ordered my 1979 from a much smaller dealer closer to home (in Bremerton, WA) who had a salesman that actually knew something about the cars Pontiac made.

Never underestimate the stupidity of a car salesman and if you happen to find a good one, don’t loose his business card or cell phone number!

I know that sounds foolish, but trust me -- the day I went to work for GM, I had to sign a pile of papers a mile deep......this law was one of them that I had to acknowledge by signing a paper saying thus.

That said? We don't like it any more than you do....it gives EVERYONE a bad reputation....including the dealers (and there are many more good dealers than bad) who conduct their business in a fair and gracious manner.
