IMO No.

The only people who are being oversaturated with the Camaro are people like those of us on these forums. And we certainly don't seem very fatigued by it yet. We crave more all the time.

I know people outside of here that have barely heard a thing, or never even seen it.

I had the oil changed in my Aveo a couple weeks ago and the guy at the service center noticed the countdown I have on my rear license plate for the Camaro. He didn't know much about it at all, he asked if it was the one that was supposed to be in Transformers and if/when they were coming out with it.

'Slightly larger?'

 

I'm not sure about Camaro "fatigue", but I do agree with Darth Xed that the timing of the Camaro's appearance in Transformers is less than ideal, to put it mildly. Not that it's necessarily Chevy's fault. If the concept wasn't seen, read or heard about on the auto show circuit, the millions upon millions of people who see it in theaters most definitely will have their interest pumped up now. If production starts roughly 18 months from now I think GM can do plenty to keep momentum and hype going until then.

 

I was very concerned about this and made a lengthy post on it a while back, but talking to people outside the enthusiast circle, I've found that many who have seen or heard about it, are very excited, but aren't anxiously awaiting it, getting impatient as we are. They only think about it when they see it, which is still, IMO, not enough to get them too hyped up for a car that won't come out for some time.

And, wtf....what does he/she know about it being "slightly larger and with a less aggressive stance" ???

 

He/she may know a thing or two.

 

oh, whoops, didn't click the link....its you!! I assumed it was a random article. sorry.

Still aggressive, though, I am hoping.

 

The more time that passes by, the more i'm interested in the top model of this car. I hope the MPG isn't too bad, like 8MPG or something.

 

Depends on what you consider less agressive. I dont agree with you. The cars not that far out. Non diehard camaro enthusiast Im sure are seeing it just enough to keep it fresh. Do WE get bored because we dont have new camaro news every single day? I know I do, but the average person isnt looking for every tid bit...

 

I agree with this - I think the only people afraid of saturation are the automotive guys/gals who've seen the car all over the place. I co-worker of mine (and we work at an automotive supplier) asked me about the Camaro when he saw my wallpaper (a 'vert pic I took myself at the NAIAS). He didn't know when it was coming out, didn't know GM was targeting Rustang prices and wasn't even sure that it was the Camaro - and this was a good 5 months after the show! To top it off, his wife LOVES the look of the new Camaro and the car would fit their lifestyle better in a couple of years. So if a prospective buyer who works in the automotive industry doesn't know the car or details about it, I'd say GM's marketing is just about right.

 

Most people, not on Camaro messageboards, are not exposed to the amount of Camaro media that we are.

My wife, for instance, thought GM had killed it a while back until she heard they came out with a vert version.

She probably won't hear anything else about it till the Transformers movie.

 

I'm certainly getting impatient. I think GM is taking too long to get the Camaro out. Lots of buzz has been generated, but if you don't deliver, the general population will sway w/ the wind. I'm glad they want to do the car right. But they will miss the wave of interest once the transformers movie comes out.

 

So it's gonna' be 3/4" higher and an inch or so narrower.......with 1" - 2" smaller diameter wheels.....what so dramatically less agressive about that??

Fatigue is only felt by those who live and breath this stuff on a daily basis, the general public is clueless.

I know why we aren't getting it any sooner and have accepted that time table as something I can't change......just cooling my heels and building another Pro Touring 1973 Camaro to bide my time.......you might try that, it works

Also Charlie, buy yourself a C5 to tide you over, that works for me too........

 

My wife, who doesn't keep up w/ the automotive world said:"They haven't come out w/ that Camaro yet?" Maybe it's b/c I've been talking about getting one for so long.

 

I would say Hell ya we will, I'm sick and tired of everyones speculation here on this board. I bleading for some facts. . .

 

I think no, because unless you're a "camaro" enthusiest, most people have no idea the camaro is even coming back. I was talking to a fella about my 67 C-10 the other day and we got to talking cars. The camaro came up and I mentioned it will out again in '09. The guy was a Corvette owner and had no idea the camaro was coming back.
