People keep talking about the camaro as a performance or muscle car. I thought it was a GM pony car to go against the mustangs for the young adult sales. A lot of 1rst gen cars were 6 bangers or a slow 327 2 barrel car with power glides or 3 speeds. Also my moms 68 had dog dish hub caps with whitewalls original from the factory. the ss and z28 made up only a portion. I am all for it. Most adult ladies bought conv mustangs over conv 4th gens. I am for a hybrid. toyota is selling alot of them in south florida. The rating are higher in town and lets face it most the people do more stoplight to stoplight than highway driving. Just my little rant. I want a V8 but my future wife would buy the hybrid one quick.Lets face it gas prices are only like stock in the respect they will go up quick but unlike the stock market the price never really falls just trickels a little at time.

 

I have to be honest, I think it would be wrong to make a Camaro hybrid. Personally gas mileage is important but having a hybrid is such a status symbol nowadays, it would just feel wrong to drive a "muscle car" hybrid. Light me on fire if you want, but personally I don't like the idea, at least on a Camaro.

 

That would mean the demise of GM as we know it. If you want something that gets 35+ go get a geo. camaro and hybrid go together as good as tuna fish and peanut butter.
thats why GM equipped the active fuel management to all their V8's. My stepdad's impala ss 5.3L gets 32mpg on the highway and about 20-21 in town.

 

Provided there were adequate regular gasoline versions, all a hybrid version would do is sell more cars to those who are looking for a hybrid as well as performance car. It will bridge a gap that needed to be done and in that situation, there is no downside.

 

Right now the hybrid stuff is looked at as a econo car or in a normal type crossover suv. I think it would be smart in sales to be one of the first to offer a sporty hybrid instead of the last on the end of a trend.

 

I think its a must! It will probably be in the parts bin, I dont see why not? Its about time GM does something BEFORE everyone else, and creates a sports car with a hybrid heart.
